Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: I'll let others fight this battle. In my view, introducing floating point timestamp method for datetime objects was a mistake. See issue #2736.
Specifically, I would like to invite Velko Ivanov to rethink his rant at msg124197. If anyone followed his advise and started using timestamp method to JSON-serialize datetimes around 3.3, have undoubtedly being bitten by the present bug (but may not know it yet.) For those who need robust code, I will continue recommending (dt - EPOCH)/timedelta(seconds=1) expression over the timestamp method and for JSON serialization (dt - EPOCH) // datetime.resolution to convert to integers and EPOCH + n * datetime.resolution to convert back. ---------- nosy: +vivanov _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23517> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
