If we choose to give the possibility to get decimal.Decimal objects, we should also patch some functions to support Decimal objects, like datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() (today, it "just works", because a Decimal object can be converted to float). We may accept Decimal in os.futimens() and os.utimensat(), but I am not sure for this particular case. To come back to my format solution, we can also support classical C structures to interact with C functions (in Python or more directly using ctypes): - "timeval": (secs, usec) where sec and usec are int - "timespec": (secs, nsec) where sec and nsec are int Or we may introduce conversion functions from other types like float, Decimal or another type. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
