New submission from Hynek Schlawack <hs@ox.cx>: It says:

os.utimensat(dirfd, path[, atime=(atime_sec, atime_nsec), mtime=(mtime_sec, mtime_nsec), flags=0]) Updates the timestamps of a file with nanosecond precision. The atime and mtime tuples default to None, which sets those values to the current time.

It should be the other way around: atime=None, mtime=None in the signature and explain in the body how they look like. It looks like atime_sec and atime_nsec are some magic constants this way. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 161264 nosy: docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, hynek priority: low severity: normal status: open title: os.utimensat's method description uses wrong notation versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14870> _______________________________________
