[issue13882] PEP 410: Use decimal.Decimal type for timestamps

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Patch version 13:
 - os.utime(path) sets the access and modification time using the currenet time with a subsecond resolution (e.g. microsecond resolution on Linux)
 - os.*utime*() functions uses _PyTime_t type and functions
 - add many functions to manipulate timeval, timespec and FILETIME types with _PyTime_t, add _PyTime_SetDenominator() function for that
 - coding style: follow PEP 7 rules for braces

So more functions (including os.*utime*()) "accept" Decimal, but using an implicit conversion to float.
