New submission from Elijah Merkin <e...@transas.com>: time.clock () has very poor time resolution on Linux (tested on Ubuntu 11.04).
The result of call to clock () changes once per several seconds. On the other side, on Windows it provides very good resolution. Here is a doctest that fails on Linux: """ >>> from time import sleep >>> prev = clock () >>> res = True >>> for i in xrange(10): ... sleep(0.15) ... next = clock () ... res = res and (next - prev) > 0.1 ... prev = next >>> print res True """ Currently on Linux I am using a workaround that is attached to the issue. ---------- components: None files: monotime_unix.py messages: 146347 nosy: ellioh priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: time.clock () has very low resolution on Linux type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23515/monotime_unix.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13261> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
