Nope, not to store an Epoch timestamp newer than january 1987: >>> x=2**29; (x+1e-7) != x # no loss of precision True >>> x=2**30; (x+1e-7) != x # lose precision False >>> print(datetime.timedelta(seconds=2**29)) 6213 days, 18:48:32 >>> print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(2**29)) 1987-01-05 19:48:32 Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
