It can be lowered to about 0.5 ms, but this degrades battery life. Patches are welcome to enhance time.get_clock_info() :-) Don't rely too much on time.get_clock_info() on Linux neither: it basically always say 1 ns, even if the effective resolution is way worse. See the PEP 418 for some numbers: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0418/#process-time I wrote these programs to write this PEP ;-) https://github.com/python/peps/tree/master/pep-0418 ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37859> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
