datetime.datetime.now() does the same thing as time.time(); it uses the
gettimeofday() API for platforms that have it (and so does time.time()),
and calls the fallback implementation in time.time() if gettimeofdat()
isn't supported. from the datetime sources:
#ifdef HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
struct timeval t;
#ifdef GETTIMEOFDAY_NO_TZ
gettimeofday(&t);
#else
gettimeofday(&t, (struct timezone *)NULL);
#endif
...
#else /* ! HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY */
/* No flavor of gettimeofday exists on this platform. Python's
* time.time() does a lot of other platform tricks to get the
* best time it can on the platform, and we're not going to do
* better than that (if we could, the better code would belong
* in time.time()!) We're limited by the precision of a double,
* though.

(note the "if we could" part).
