It depends on which clock is used. - clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) cannot be adjusted - clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) can be adjusted by NTP (only its speed, no forward or backward jump) - I don't think that QueryPerformanceCounter() can be adjusted - gettimeofday(), ftime() and time() are the system clock and can be changed manually by the system administrator or automatically by NTP (maybe with a jump, forward or backward) - clock() is used on Windows if QueryPerformanceFrequency failed. I donk't know if it can be ajdusted It is important to mention that time.steady() may be adjusted in some cases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14318> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
