STINNER Victor added the comment: I rewrite the implementation of this issue 2 or 3 times. At the end, I decided to rewrite it again with a more incremental approach: add the new API, use the new API, and then drop slowly the old API.
I was used to rewrite the implementation multiple times to fix issues in the API and enhance the implementation. The new API now handles better rounding with more unit tests. The datetime module only uses the new API for the datetime.datetime() constructor. It's not used for datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(), because _PyTime_t is limited to a range of [-292 years; 292 years]. The datetime module supports a much large range: year in range [1; 9999]. So some parts of the old API will survive for the datetime module. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22117> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
