Even stronger: I wouldn't count on _anything_ more than that. On my machine, time.time() changes value once per millisecond. I tested this by looking at a loop that recorded time.time() 100000 times. The total time in the loop was 61 ms; out of the 100000 numbers, 61 were higher than the previous one, with the highest difference being 1.00017 ms, the lowest 0.999928 ms. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
