I like 'resolution' because this is the term that datetime module uses already: >>> from datetime import * >>> datetime.resolution datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 1) There is a slight chance of confusion stemming from the fact that datetime.resolution is timedelta, but proposed parameter is a string. I believe ISO 8601 uses the word "accuracy" to describe this kind of format variations. I am leaning towards "resolution", but would like to hear from others. Here are the candidates: 1. resolution 2. accuracy 3. precision (Note that "accuracy" is the shortest but "resolution" is the most correct.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19475> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
