I suggest that publishing nanoseconds as a plain int would be a nasty API. Consider what it would do to os.utime:
if isinstance(mtime, int):
# must be st_mtime_ns, it's in nanoseconds, use as-is
value = mtime
else:
assert isinstance(mtime, float)
# must be st_mtime, it's in seconds, multiply by a billion
value = mtime * 1000000000
Have we ever published an API that treated a parameter as two wildly different numbers based solely on whether the parameter was an int or a float? |
