Yo,

I've just noticed that on Mac OS X PB, time.time() as well as some =
related time functions (os.path.getmtime()) return *negative* values. =
The doc says that time.time() expected behavior is to=20

"
Return the time as a floating point number expressed in seconds since =
the epoch, in UTC. Note that even though the time is always returned as =
a floating point number, not all systems provide time with a better =
precision than 1 second.
"

time.gmtime(0) returns (1903, 12, 31, 23, 0, 0, 3, 365, 0) which is Thu =
Dec 31, 1903  23:00:00 as the epoch both on Mac OS X PB et on Python 2.0 =
on Mac OS 9.1.=20

I'd expect that time.time() would yield a positive value.=20

On OS XP:

t =3D time.time() -> -1229352415.5447249
time.asctime(time.localtime(t)) -> 'Wed Feb 21 15:41:21 2001'

On Mac OS 9.1 (MacPython 2.0)

t =3D time.time() -> 3065614820.2202692
time.asctime(time.locatime(time.time()) -> 'Wed Feb 21 15:40:20 2001'

=3D tmk =3D

PS: Jack, I'm cc'ing you because I don't see my posts making it to the =
list.=
