of datetime.datetime: microseconds are now rounded to nearest with ties going
to nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), instead of being rounding towards
zero (ROUND_DOWN). It's important that these methods use the same rounding
mode than datetime.timedelta to keep the property:
(datetime(1970,1,1) + timedelta(seconds=t)) == datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t)
It also the rounding mode used by round(float) for example.
Add more unit tests on the rounding mode in test_datetime.
datetime.datetime now round microseconds to nearest with ties going to nearest
even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), as round(float), instead of rounding towards
-Infinity (ROUND_FLOOR).
pytime API: replace _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_UP with _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_EVEN. Fix
also _PyTime_Divide() for negative numbers.
_PyTime_AsTimeval_impl() now reuses _PyTime_Divide() instead of reimplementing
rounding modes.

I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux. The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.
This patch brings the pure-python datetime more in-line with the C
module. Patch contributed by Brian Kearns, a PyPy developer. PyPy
project has been running these modifications in PyPy2 stdlib.
This commit includes:
- General PEP8/cleanups;
- Better testing of argument types passed to constructors;
- Removal of duplicate operations;
- Optimization of timedelta creation;
- Caching the result of __hash__ like the C accelerator;
- Enhancements/bug fixes in tests.
time.ctime(), gmtime(), time.localtime(), datetime.date.fromtimestamp(),
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
raises an OverflowError, instead of a ValueError, if the timestamp does not fit
in time_t.
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
round microseconds towards zero instead of rounding to nearest with ties going
away from zero.
