time.time() returns time as a float, but the conversion to float lose precision at the nanosecond resolution.
I propose to add a new time.time_ns() function which returns time as an integer number of nanoseconds since epoch. It's similar to the st_mtime_ns field of os.stat_result which extended the old st_mtime field.
For the full rationale, see my thread on python-ideas:
