Message 57080 - Python tracker
Skip has already provided what amounts to a patch. It just needs to be decided whether to (a) not include it, (b) include it with the floating point part, or (c) include it without the floating point part. I couldn't comment as to how many people need it. I can say that I need it, and anyone else who's used to manipulating dates and times either "in a unixy sort of way" or with libraries that are expecting time_t's will need it.
