What is the precision (and accuracy) of time module on a Windows XP machine?
threading module depends on time module so it's precision(and accuracy) is up to time module's. | for i in xrange(1000): | time.sleep(0.001) This sleeps for awhile, which means 0.001 sec is not ignored. On the other hand, | for i in xrange(10000): | time.sleep(0.0001) This returns right away. 0.0001 sec is ignored and lost in the air. So can I tell the time.sleep's precision is 1ms? Any other way to increase the precision? (Using busy waiting -- spinning loop -- is not a good option, it makes over 90% cpu usage) Jane -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
