Unlike time types that separate seconds and fractional components, nanotime trades human readability for speed and simplicity\u2014making it suitable for scenarios where you need to compare, add, or subtract many timestamps quickly using integer arithmetic rather than complex time manipulation.\n\nThe package was designed for use cases like entry bookkeeping and packet timestamping where nanosecond precision matters but you want fast integer operations. It has no runtime dependencies and is available under the MIT License, but has been abandoned since 2011 with no active maintenance or updates.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2011-09-22, no commits since 2019-07-25) with unverified Python compatibility, high install friction, and no active maintenance. Unless you have a specific legacy integration requirement, consider alternatives that are actively maintained."},"id":"nanotime","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nanotime","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nanotime.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nanotime/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2011-09-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"nanotime","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"nanotime python implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":231261,"position":9090,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.2"}
