I see PEP 418 gives time.clock_info() two boolean fields named
"is_monotonic" and "is_adjusted". I think the "is_" is unnecessary and
a bit ugly, and they could just be renamed "monotonic" and "adjusted".
I agree with monotonic, but I think it should be "adjustable".

I don't really care, but I think "adjusted" is fine. As in "this clock
is adjusted (occasionally)".

monotonic is an adjective, whereas adjusted is (part of) a verb. I think both should be adjectives. Does "adjusted" mean that it has been adjusted, that it can be adjusted or it will be adjusted?

Cheers,
Mark.
