If we use named tuples and retain C API field names, stat_result.tv_atimespec.tv_sec will clearly mean number of seconds and stat_result.tv_atimespec.tv_nsec will clearly mean nanoseconds. Even if we use plain tuples, the convention will be obvious to someone familiar with C API. And familiarity with C API is expected from users of os module, IMO. Those who need higher level abstractions should use higher level modules. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
