Some C function provides the frequency of the clock (and so its resolution), or directly the resolution, but I don't know any function providing the precision. I thought that clock_getres() is the precision, but I was wrong. clock_getres() is really the resolution announced by the OS, even if the OS may be pessimistic (and so wrong, ex: OpenBSD and Solaris). But Python should not try to workaround OS "bugs".
