Hello, I'm just starting a new thread since the old ones are so crowded. First, overall I think the PEP is starting to look really good and insightful! (congratulations to Victor)
I have a couple of comments, mostly small ones: > "function" (str): name of the underlying operating system function. I think "implementation" is a better name here (more precise, and perhaps also more accurate :-)). > time.monotonic() > time.perf_counter() > time.process_time() The descriptions should really stress the scope of the result's validity. My guess (or wish :-)) would be: - time.monotonic(): system-wide results, comparable from one process to another - time.perf_counter(): process-wide results, comparable from one thread to another (?) - time.process_time(): process-wide, by definition It would also be nice to know if some systems may be unable to implement time.monotonic(). > GetTickCount() has an precision of 55 ms on Windows 9x. Do we care? :) Precision under recent Windows variants (XP or later) would be more useful. Is there a designated dictator for this PEP?
