[issue15443] datetime module has no support for nanoseconds

[Vincenzo Ampolo]

New submission from Vincenzo Ampolo <vincenzo.ampolo at gmail.com>:

As long as computers evolve time management becomes more precise and more granular.
Unfortunately the standard datetime module is not able to deal with nanoseconds even if OSes are able to. For example if i do:

print "%.9f" % time.time()
1343158163.471209049

I've actual timestamp from the epoch with nanosecond granularity.

Thus support for nanoseconds in datetime would really be appreciated
