STINNER Victor added the comment: Ok, I fixed the issue in Python 3.6. Example with the initial message:
$ python2.7 -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1424817268.274).microsecond); print(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(-1424817268.274).microsecond)' 274000 726000 $ python3.6 -c 'import datetime; print(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1424817268.274).microsecond); print(datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(-1424817268.274).microsecond)' 274000 726000 I wrote: "On Python < 3.3, datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(float) doesn't use exactly ROUND_HALF_EVEN, but it looks more to "round half away from zero" (the decimal module doesn't seem to support this exact rounding method)." I was wrong: it's decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP in fact. I will backport the change to Python 3.4 and 3.5. Since this issue was defined as a bugfix, it should be fixed in Python 3.5.1 (too late for 3.5.0). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
