I wrote a python program that used time() function from the time module to
retrieve time in seconds since Epoch. After the value was retrieved which I
checked is a float by using type(), the value was then written into a file in
binary format. Then another C program that I wrote opened the file and
converted the value into a time_t variable but it was totally different from
the correct value. Then I found that the time_t size is actually 4 byte integer
which is not the same with 8-byte float value returned by time.time(). Why is
this so? Being written with C library, isn't python suppose to work well with
it?
