Maybe what I meant with `nothing looks quite right': seconds as float, microseconds as float, nanosecond as 0..999, nanoseconds as 0..999999999 with mandatory keyword that precludes microseconds - all can be made to work, none seems completely satisfying. In fact, I don't really have a use for it from python - but something would be needed in C for the implementation of datetime.fromtimespec and time.fromtimespec that calls the constructor that's the datetime.time.fromtimespec btw.

datetime.time.from_timespec actually makes no sense.

PyObjectCallCallFunction(clas,"...",...) - can this happen and remain hidden from the python layer?

... occured to me I might simply create a us datetime object and set its nanofield after.

I'll try wrap up a recap proposal later.
