Note that in the unlikely event of your Windows machine being up for
longer than 2^32 ms (about 49 days), GetTickCount() will wrap back to
zero.
The real solution, in spite of the dozen alternatives we've
now produced, seems to be to use the win32pdh library
to access the "System"-> "System Up Time" value. It
claims to return an 8-byte value, which likely doesn't
wrap quite so soon. (And yes, remarkably, with the advent
of Windows XP Pro it is now possible to keep a Windows
machine running for longer than 49 days, even if it's
used as a development machine. Well, for Python development,
anyway. ;-)
For the life of me, however, I can't figure out how to do it.
