We'll see how it does there. But I trust it to be enough digits.
On Windows 98, time.time() typically updates only once per 0.055 seconds (18.2 Hz), but time.clock() typically updates more than a million times per second. You do /not/ want to use time.time() for sub-second time measurement on Windows. Use time.clock() for this purpose on Windows. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
