ok so now i import the module like this:

   from time import strftime, time

i made the write statement like this:

   self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d", ))))
   self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(strftime("%H:%M:%S", ))))
   self.logfile.write('%s\t'%(str(time())))

(oh and btw,i know the code is hacker ugly).  
and the output is this:

the first two columns are for eyes so if they are a microsecond apart it 
doesn't matter. the numbers in the third column are for calculating duration 
which is where i need the precision. 

Why is it only giving me the centisecond precision?  the docs say i should get 
microsecond precision with the code i put together.

Thanks!
