1. For the reasons presented, I think it's worth attempting to define a common API that is based on datetime, but is tailored towards high precision time operations (at least using a different internal representation, perhaps supporting TAI).
IIUC, the concern is about the DB-API, which does sort-of mandate that the datetime module is used to represent SQL time types. So not basing this off datetime isn't really an option. Providing a subtype should work, though.
