[Python-ideas] High Precision datetime

[Alexander Belopolsky]

arbitrary or extended precision fractional seconds?

Having seen the utter disaster that similar ideas brought to numpy, I would
say: no.

On the other hand, nanoseconds are slowly making their way to the stdlib
and to add nanoseconds to datetime we only need a fully backward compatible
implementation, not even a PEP.
