[issue8860] Rounding in timedelta constructor is inconsistent with that in timedelta arithmetics

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Similar problem affects fromtimestamp() constructors:

>>> datetime.fromtimestamp(0.0078125)-datetime.fromtimestamp(0)
datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 7813)
>>> datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0.0078125)-datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0)
datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 7813)

both rounded to odd, but

>>> 0.0078125*timedelta(seconds=1)
datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 7812)

is correctly rounded to even.
