STINNER Victor added the comment:

test_utime_ns.patch: rewrite _test_utime_ns(). It now uses constant timestamps 
for atime and mtime with a resolution of 1 us.

The test will fail if the internal function of os.utime() has a resolution of 1 
sec (utime() with time_t) of if the resolution of filesystem timestamp is worse 
than 1 us.

In practice on buildbots, it looks like the effective resolution of 1 us 
(FreeBSD, Solaris), 100 ns (Windows) or 1 ns (Linux). So 1 us should work on 
all buildbot slaves.

test_utime_ns.patch doesn't call os.utime() on directories, only on a regular 
file. I don't understand the purpose of testing with a directory. Are we 
testing the OS or Python?
