I agree with Barry here (despite having voiced support for using Decimal before): datetime.datetime is the right data type to represent time stamps. If it means that it needs to be improved before it can be used in practice, then so be it - improve it.
Maybe I missed the answer, but how do you handle timestamp with an unspecified starting point like os.times() or time.clock()? Should we leave these function unchanged?
My motivation for the PEP 410 is to provide nanosecond resolution for time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC) and time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_REALTIME).
