[Python-Dev] Supporting precision in a DateTime type

[Guido van Rossum]

Thanks Steve, for posting this summary.  I'm going to take a different
route for now but will keep your remarks in mind.  Martin Fowler's
note on time points was really helpful!

Also thanks to David Abraham for the pointer to Boost GDTL.  Python's
standard date/time type will relate to GDTL like Python's iterator
concept relates to C++ iterators. :-)
