Ah, drat -- hit the wrong key and sent the last post before I had finished
writing it... the following is what I *intended* to send.

I suspect that Python isn't quite fast enough to give an accurate measure
for this, but I could be wrong.
You can try this:
def calc_time_res():
now = time.time
start = now()
x = start
while start == x:
x = now()
print x - start
Trying it, I get a fairly small number:
>>> calc_time_res()
1.50203704834e-05
>>> calc_time_res()
1.50203704834e-05
>>> calc_time_res()
1.50203704834e-05
This is Python 2.3 running under Fedora Core 2 Linux.
