Add nanoseconds, and it will take at least 11 (if 4 bits are insanely squashed into the bytes currently devoted to microseconds), and more likely 12 (if nanoseconds are sanely given their own 2 bytes).
That doesn't have to be. For example you could use the MSB of the microseconds field to store a "datetime pickle flags" byte, which could tell the unserializer whether a nanoseconds (or attoseconds :-)) field follows or not. Remember that existing pickles must remain readable, so there must be some kind of version field anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15443> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
