That's why the function name was changed from time.monotonic() to time.steady(strict=True). If you want to change something, you should change the documentation to list OS limitations. > It's the OS's job to guarantee things Correct, most Python modules exposing OS functions are thin wrappers and don't add any magic. When we need a higher level API, we write a new module: like shutil enhancing the os module.
