Tim Peters <tim.pet...@gmail.com> added the comment: This behavior is intentional and is documented in the datetime.isoformat() docs:
""" Return a string representing the date and time in ISO 8601 format, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmm or, if microsecond is 0, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS ... """ It was Guido's idea ;-) The point is that __str__ is supposed to produce "nice" output, and ".0000000" was thought to be more annoying than useful, since the common case is that datetime objects don't use microseconds. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7342> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
