[New-bugs-announce] [issue1158] %f format for datetime objects

[Skip Montanaro]

New submission from Skip Montanaro:

Attached is a patch for py3k which adds a %f format code to its strftime
method.  When included in a format string it expands to the number of
microseconds in the object.  date, time and datetime objects all support
the format (though I'm not sure what, if anything, it means for date
objects).

I don't know how practical this is for time.strftime() level because the
inputs are all so excited about being ints.  Still, if you wanted to
allow the seconds field to be a float and were willing to cast it to an
int where necessary and shadow struct tm with a pseudo-float-friendly
version of the same, you could probably smash it in there as well.
