I'd like to get the current time such that: * It's sub-second resolution (milliseconds sounds best). * It's a fixed, cross-platform size (preferably 64-bits, because I need sub-second resolution) * It's an "integer", so that computation on the same value results in the same result on every processor and platform.
I've looked at the module "times", but do not see how to emulate Java's System.currentTimeMillis() with it, which is basically what I'd need.
