I opened the issue #14309 to deprecate time.clock(): http://bugs.python.org/issue14309 time.clock() is a different clock type depending on the OS (Windows vs UNIX) and so is confusing. You should now decide between time.time() and time.steady(). time.time(): - known starting point, Epoch (1970.1.1) - may be update by the system (and so go backward or forward) => display time to the user, compare/set file modification time time.steady(): - unknown starting point - more accurate than time.time() - should be monotonic (use strict=True if you want to be sure ;-)) => benchmark, timeout Victor _______________________________________________ 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
