The only reason I didn't mention milliseconds because they exist in timedelta instantiation. And really, being the only place in the whole module they're as confusing there as would be nanoseconds.

And putting any such options would require a huge banner saying that the nanosecond option will just always result in three zeros at the end. My suggestion is not to pretend that we suddenly "support" nanoseconds, but rather to follow the actual implementation of the module and add the support for nanoseconds timespec when the module actually adds support for them. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
