This seems to me the most Pythonic way. Are C doubles dense enough to offer 100 ns resolution ?
It looks like they are:
time.time() 1031326478.373606 1031326478 + 1e-6 1031326478.000001 1031326478 + 1e-7 1031326478.0000001 1031326478 + 1e-8 1031326478.0
but only just so:
1031326478 + 2e-7 1031326478.0000002 1031326478 + 3e-7 1031326478.0000004 1031326478 + 4e-7 1031326478.0000004
I admit that this looks tempting, but I'm worried about applications that break because they expect time stamps in struct stat to be integers. Regards, Martin
