I suspect that Python isn't quite fast enough to give an accurate measure
for this, but I could be wrong.
You can try this:
def calc_time_res():
now = time.time
start = now()
x = start
while start == x:
x = now()
print x - start
Trying it, I get a fairly small number:
>>> calc_time_res()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 2, in calc_time_res
NameError: global name 'time' is not defined
