Alexandre Zani <alexandre.z...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think the easiest and most intuitive approach is to simply define timestamp() as being the reverse of fromtimestamp(). Don't worry about leap seconds and all that stuff.
If non-1970 epochs are a concern, this could be renamed to posix_timestamp or some such with perhaps a generic timestamp function that takes both a time and epoch. But let's not let such a useful function not happen just because it won't solve everyone's problem. ---------- nosy: +Alexandre.Zani _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14908> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
