mdcb added the comment: naively and coming from C, you have time_t to represent time so even though underneath it's typedef, it gives the casual user like me comfort (2038 not accounted). I don't know the details why struct timespec was chosen rather than nanoseconds as integer, and in fact wo

mdcb added the comment: I'm fine my patch doesn't resolve the "nanosecond support", but that doesn't mean the issue is closed per say. Ref. to PEP410 rejection and de facto standard seems a bit expeditive. assuming it worked, this would somewhat be more agreeable ? >class timestamp(int): pass

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: I would say that rejection note for PEP 410 [1] and the implementation of st_[amc]time_ns fields in os.stats() have established a de-facto standard for representing nanosecond resolution timestamps in Python. I think this proposal should be rejected. [1
