[issue11457] os.stat(): add new fields to get timestamps as Decimal objects with nanosecond resolution

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com> added the comment:

st_atim, st_ctim and st_mtim attributes could be instances of a class (implemented in posixmodule.c) similar to:

class timespec(tuple):
    def __init__(self, arg):
        if not isinstance(arg, tuple):
            raise TypeError
        if len(arg) != 2:
            raise TypeError
        if not isinstance(arg[0], int):
            raise TypeError
        if not isinstance(arg[1], int):
            raise TypeError
        self.sec = arg[0]
        self.nsec = arg[1]
        tuple.__init__(self)
    def __add__(self, other):
        if not isinstance(other, timespec):
            raise TypeError
        ns_sum = (self.sec * 10 ** 9 + self.nsec) + (other.sec * 10 ** 9 + other.nsec)
        return timespec(divmod(ns_sum, 10 ** 9))
    def __sub__(self, other):
        if not isinstance(other, timespec):
            raise TypeError
        ns_diff = (self.sec * 10 ** 9 + self.nsec) - (other.sec * 10 ** 9 + other.nsec)
        return timespec(divmod(ns_diff, 10 ** 9))
