time.process_time() uses maybe "seconds" on Linux, but it doesn't include time
elapsed during sleep. See the test:
def test_process_time(self):
start = time.process_time()
time.sleep(0.1)
stop = time.process_time()
self.assertLess(stop - start, 0.01)
According to Wikipedia: "Since 1967, the second has been defined to be: the
duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the
transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium
133 atom."
The caesium 133 atom is not sleeping while your process is sleeping, so you
cannot say the time.process_time() uses second. Do you see what I mean?
