[New-bugs-announce] [issue8643] incorrect timedelta yielded by two on-the-fly nows

[Michal Božoň]

New submission from Michal Božoň <michal.bozon at gmail.com>:

now() - now() from datetime.datetime produces not-nearly-zero timedelta:

>>> import datetime
>>> (datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.datetime.now()).seconds
86399

(i can't in the moment figure out why this is happening, sice the datetime library is written in C)
