Right, I propose to add new clock(s) since people may rely on the current clock(s) specifications. > At least Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows all have a way to access a > monotonic clock that stops ticking while the system is suspended. Python also tries to support AIX, OpenBSD, Solaris, Android, etc. https://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html#best-effort-and-unofficial-platforms I'm not sure that all "supported" platforms provide such clock. It's ok if such clock is not available on all platforms. People can fallback on monotonic/perf_counter depending on their need. For example, previously, it was common to write something like: try: from time import monotonic except ImportError: from time import time as monotonic # Python 2 or clock not available ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
