Sure, while my initial attempt to fix the issue (PEP 410 -- Use
decimal.Decimal type for timestamps) got rejected, os.stat got 3 new
fields (st_atime_ns, st_mtime_st, st_ctime_st) exactly for this
reason: to compare timestamps and to copy the value value of
timestamps.
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_atime_ns

os.utime() accepts timestamps as nanoseconds as well using the "ns" parameter:
