Simple google search comparison shows that people ask about 'monotonic' clock in python, not 'steady'. How about following Nick's (if I recall correctly) proposal of calling the OS function - '_monotonic', and a python wrapper - 'monotonic'? And one more question: what do you think about introducing a special check, that will ensure that our python implementation of 'monotonic', in case of fallback to 'time.time()', raises an exception if time suddenly goes backward? - Yury _______________________________________________ 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
