Guido van Rossum added the comment: Well, I don't know if this sways anything, but I was probably responsible, and I think my argument was something about not all timestamp sources having microseconds, and not wanting to emit the ".000000" in that case. If I could go back I'd probably do something else; after all str(1.0) doesn't return '1' either. But that's water under the bridge; "fixing" this is undoubtedly going to break a lot of code.
Maybe we can give isoformat() a flag parameter to force the inclusion or exclusion of the microseconds (with a default of None meaning the current behavior)? ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum resolution: duplicate -> status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19475> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
