Can we pick an API for this functionality that does not follow the worst of design anti-patterns? Constant arguments, varying return type, hidden import, and the list can go on. What is wrong with simply creating a new module, say "hirestime" with functions called decimal_time(), float_time(), datetime_time() and whatever else you would like. Let's keep the good old 'time' module simple.
