STINNER Victor added the comment: Not checking for integer overflow is more likely to hide bugs. Handling time is an hard problem, see a recent funny (or not) story from Cloudfare with the latest leap second added at midnight the 2016-12-31: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-and-why-the-leap-second-affected-cloudflare-dns/
Extract: "RRDNS is written in Go and uses Go’s time.Now() function to get the time. Unfortunately, this function does not guarantee monotonicity. Go currently doesn’t offer a monotonic time source (see issue 12914 for discussion)." Hopefully, Python has time.monotonic() since Python 3.3 ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
