I'd like to have time.time_ns() -- this is most parallel to st_mtime_ns.Welcome to the list Guido! You sound like a C programmer. For many people, that was the best language they knew of when they learned to program. But have you ever tried Python? You should give it a try!-- KoosP.S. Sorry, couldn't resist :-) I guess having two versions of one function would not be that bad. I will probably never use the ns version anyway. But I'd like a more general solution to such problems in the long run.--+ Koos Zevenhoven + http://twitter.com/k7hoven +
