[issue40076] isoformat function drops microseconds part if its value is 000000

Does timespec fulfill this use case to always return microseconds?

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.isoformat

Return a string representing the date and time in ISO 8601 format:
    YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.ffffff, if microsecond is not 0
    YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS, if microsecond is 0

The optional argument timespec specifies the number of additional components of the time to include (the default is 'auto'). It can be one of the following:

    'auto': Same as 'seconds' if microsecond is 0, same as 'microseconds' otherwise.
    'hours': Include the hour in the two-digit HH format.
    'minutes': Include hour and minute in HH:MM format.
    'seconds': Include hour, minute, and second in HH:MM:SS format.
    'milliseconds': Include full time, but truncate fractional second part to milliseconds. HH:MM:SS.sss format.
    'microseconds': Include full time in HH:MM:SS.ffffff format.
