Use timeit.default_timer. Or just copy how it's defined:
if sys.platform == "win32":
# On Windows, the best timer is time.clock()
default_timer = time.clock
else:
# On most other platforms the best timer is time.time()
default_timer = time.time
In 3.3, it's updated to use time.perf_counter() on all platforms:
