[issue18027] distutils should access stat_result timestamps via .st_*time attributes

[Jakub Wilk]

New submission from Jakub Wilk:

Currently distutils accesses stat_result timestamps like this:

  os.stat(source)[ST_MTIME]

But, for compatibility with older Python versions, the above method gives you at most 1-second resolution. It should do it like this instead:

  os.stat(source).st_mtime
