+1 for adding a microseconds field to struct_time, but I'd also like to see an integer-only way of parsing fractional seconds in time.strptime. Using floating point makes it harder to support exact comparison of timestamps (an issue I recently ran into when writing unit tests for code storing timestamps in a database). My vote is for %<digit>N producing a microseconds field.
