Adding a __float__ method to datetime was entertained back in 2003, but was rejected. The same reasons apply to timedelta: """ - A C double doesn't have enough precision for roundtrip guarantees. - Does it really need to be automatic? I.e., does it really need to be __float__()? I'd be less against this if it was an explicit method, e.g. dt.asposixtime(). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) """ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-January/032166.html ---------- nosy: +belopolsky _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4291> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
