Maybe what I meant with `nothing looks quite right':
seconds as float, microseconds as float, nanosecond as 0..999,
nanoseconds as 0..999999999 with mandatory keyword that precludes
microseconds - all can be made to work, none seems completely satisfying.

In fact, I don't really have a use for it from python - but something
would be needed in C for the implementation of datetime.from_timespec
and time.from_timespec that calls the constructor

that's the datetime.time.from_timespec btw.

PyObjectCall_CallFunction(clas,"...",...) - can this happen and remain
hidden from the python layer?

We can make nanosecond a keyword-only argument, so that

time(1, 2, 3, nanosecond=123456789) -> 01:02:03.123456789

and

time(1, 2, 3, 4, nanosecond=123456789) -> error

Users will probably be encouraged to avoid positional form when
specifying time to subsecond precision.  I would say  time(1, 2, 3,
microsecond=4) is clearer than time(1, 2, 3, 4) anyways.

Another option is to allow float for the "second" argument:

time(1, 2, 3.123456789) -> 01:02:03.123456789
