[New-bugs-announce] [issue19738] pytime.c loses precision under Windows

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Under Windows, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime has a 100 ns resolution, but pygettimeofday stores it in a timeval which only has microsecond resolution. As a consequence, some precision is lost under Windows (which shows e.g. in time.time() results).
