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 would rather leave that worry to others. 
maybe a typdef PyTimeStamp would make the defacto you mention more obvious, and 
maybe class timestamp(int):pass in python that seems to bring even more meaning 
but I don't know how you map that in the C API.

more practically speaking: you're welcomed to close this issue since it's 
seeminly going nowhere.
