What I meant is that time.clock() is replaced with the higher
accuracy timers corresponding to the current time.clock()
implementation on the various platforms in order to retain
backwards compatibility.
In other words:
if sys.platform == 'win32':
time.clock = time.perf_counter
else:
time.clock = time.process_time
I know that time.clock() behaves differently on different platforms,
but this fact has been known for a long time and is being used by
Python code out there for timing purposes.
