maybe i used datetime? thanks!
Repeatedly people have asked you to show your exact code. Still nothing.
Here's a clue, from a Gentoo box running kernel 3.2.1-gentoo-r2:
$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Feb 9 2012, 18:40:46)
[GCC 4.5.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time; print time.time()
1388190100.44
>>> import time; time.time()
1388190102.795531
>>>
Please show us _exactly_ what you're doing. I'm guessing that print
is confusing you.

i get the same result as you expect. so its got to be the write statement that
is truncated the decimal places right?
Objects in Python have two different ways to produce a string of
themselves, known as the str() and the repr(). A float's str() includes
two decimal points of precision, its repr() includes as many as you'd
need to reproduce the float again. The print statement implicitly uses
the str(), the interactive interpreter uses the repr().
Luckily, you can decide how to format the float yourself:
>>> import time
>>> time.time()
1388407706.617985
>>> print time.time()
1388407709.21
>>> print "%.3f" % time.time()
1388407716.377
>>> print "%.4f" % time.time()
1388407726.1001
BTW, I said something very similar in this thread 2.5 days ago:

I get the feeling not all messages are flowing to all places.
