That's what I think would be a better solution, since the absolute value of time.clock() is never used, only the difference. If you then get better accuracy in that difference, things can only get better, so this is not really backwards compatibility issue (nothing gets worse). Not sure whether the function name would cause an incompatibility issue. I doubt it, but if it does we could have time.clock() as function which then simply calls time.perf_counter(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
