time.clock_gettime() & friends were added by the issue #10278. The function was added before someone asked (me) to write a PEP. The need of a PEP came later, when time.wallclock() and time.monotonic() functions were added. > Because these are thin (low-level) wrappers around the corresponding > POSIX APIs, so there is no reason not to add them. time.clock_gettime() can be used for other purpose than a monotonic clock. For example, CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is the only available function to get the "Thread-specific CPU-time clock". It also gives access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW which is not used by the time.monotonic() function proposed in the PEP.
