> Hey, why nobody proposed datetime.datetime objects?

datetime.datetime is extremely bad at representing time stamps.
Don't use broken-down time if you can avoid it.

> By the way, Windows does also use timestamps with a nanosecond

Actually, it doesn't. The Windows filetime data type uses units
of 100ns, starting on 1.1.1601.
