please stop repeating this nonsense. there are no "process time timers" in con- temporary operating systems; only tick counters. there are patches for linux and commercial add-ons to most platforms that lets you use hardware performance counters for process stuff, but there's no way to emulate that by playing with different existing Unix or Win32 API:s; the thing you think you're using simply isn't there. </F> _______________________________________________ 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
