time module precision

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
