It looks like os.stat.st_mtime returns full seconds here on Ubuntu:
Python 3.3.0a0 (default:3f9b3b6f7ff0, Feb 25 2012, 17:42:23) 
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.stat("./python").st_mtime
1330189060.0
>>> 
Nanoseconds, anyone? :)
