One of the common complains about working with time values in Python, is that it some functionality is available in time module, some in datetime module and some in both.
Is it a common complaint, really? The common complaint, IMO, is that *none* of those two modules provides a complete feature set in itself.
I propose a series of steps towards improving this situation.
1. Create posixtime.py initially containing just "from time import *" 2. Add python implementation of time.* functions to posixtime.py. 3. Rename time module to _posixtime and add time.py with a deprecation warning and "from _posixtime import *".
I don't understand the purpose. I certainly like time.time() and I don't see the point of making it go away (will we have to use one of these "obvious" datetime-based one-liners instead?). Regards Antoine.
