I would like access to CLOCK_TAI in the time package, for systems where it is available (such as linux, but not, alas, macOS).
For systems that are properly configured CLOCK_TAI is very useful as a *standard* monotonic time with a standard epoch. Use cases include message timestamps and pointing telescopes… I am willing to do most or all of the work, but before I start on that I would like to know if this pull request is likely to be approved. Will this need a PEP first? Regards, Russell P.S. For systems that are not properly configured CLOCK_TAI typically returns the same thing as CLOCK_UTC. This is a well known issue, but Python is in no position to do anything about it other than warn in the documentation. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/MZADFZ6UGYR6EDHHWSE2FZMRFVHURZLM/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
