The overview of the different monotonic clocks was interesting, because only one of them is adjusted by NTP, and that's the unix CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Hence we don't need a raw=False flag, which I previously suggested, we only need to not use CLOCK_MONOTONIC (which the PEP psuedo-code indeed also does not do, so that's all good).
That means I think the PEP is fine now, if we rename highres(). time.time() already gets the highest resolution clock it can. Hence a highres() is confusing as the name implies that it returns a higher resolution clock than time.time(). And the name does not in any way indicate that the returned clock might be monotonic. try_monotonic() seems the obvious choice, since that's what it actually does. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
