os.time() returns incorrect value. test.py: def f(n): if n <= 0: return 1 else: return f(n-1) + f(n-2) import os t1 = os.times() f(34) t2 = os.times() utime = t2[0] - t1[0] stime = t2[1] - t1[1] total = utime + stime print "utime %.4f, stime %.4f, total %.4f" % (utime, stime, total) result: $ time python bench.py utime 38.6333, stime 0.1000, total 38.7333 real 0m23.787s user 0m23.211s sys 0m0.138s This shows that real time is only 23.8 seconds, but os.times() reports that user time is over 38 seconds. This is due to bug of Modules/posixmodule.c. Environment: python 2.5.2, MacOS X 10.4 Tiger, GCC 4.0 ---------- keywords: +patch title: os.times() returns uncorrect value -> os.times() returns incorrect value Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9568/posixmodule.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2205> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
