New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com>: time.time() returns time as a float, but the conversion to float lose precision at the nanosecond resolution.
I propose to add a new time.time_ns() function which returns time as an integer number of nanoseconds since epoch. It's similar to the st_mtime_ns field of os.stat_result which extended the old st_mtime field. For the full rationale, see my thread on python-ideas: [Python-ideas] Add time.time_ns(): system clock with nanosecond resolution https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-October/047318.html ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 304365 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add time.time_ns(): get time with nanosecond resolution type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31784> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
