That won't be easy <wink>. This is how Python computes time.time() on
Windows (it's C code, of course):
struct timeb t;
ftime(&t);
return (double)t.time + (double)t.millitm * (double)0.001;
`ftime()` there is from Microsoft's C library:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_CRT__ftime.asp>
IOW, Python basically returns exactly what MS's ftime() returns, after
converting it to a double-precision float.
