+1 on the latter idea. Since the stmtime, statime, and stctime attributes, and the tuple-ish API are documented as returning ints, I think you shouldn't change that. Provide different field names for float values, e.g. fmtime, fctime, fatime, or maybe just mtime, atime, and ctime... ?

The previous suggestion was st_mtimef, st_ctimef, ...
