Gareth Rees <g...@garethrees.org> added the comment:
I also have a use case that would benefit from nanosecond resolution in Python's datetime objects, that is, representing and querying the results of clock_gettime() in a program trace. On modern Linuxes with a vDSO, clock_gettime() does not require a system call and completes within a few nanoseconds. So Python's datetime objects do not have sufficient resolution to distinguish between adjacent calls to clock_gettime(). This means that, like Mark Dickinson above, I have to choose between using datetime for queries (which would be convenient) and accepting that nearby events in the trace may be indistinguishable, or implementing my own datetime-like data structure. ---------- nosy: +g...@garethrees.org _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue15443> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
