Research direction
The issue targets the datetime.now entry point in Python's standard library, but names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating datetime.now and reviewing the linked BPO issue discussion to establish the intended precision semantics; done means the argument's behavior and compatibility expectations are clearly defined and covered by appropriate tests.
