Hello, I wrote a script that does some time measurements. It uses time.perf_counter() from Python 3 which works very well. Now I need to backport it to python 2.
Docs say that time.clock() is way to go: time.clock() On Unix, return the current processor time as a floating point number expressed in seconds. The precision, and in fact the very definition of the meaning of “processor time”, depends on that of the C function of the same name, but in any case, this is the function to use for benchmarking Python or timing algorithms. On Windows, this function returns wall-clock seconds elapsed since the first call to this function, as a floating point number, based on the Win32 function QueryPerformanceCounter(). The resolution is typically better than one microsecond. But for me it always returns the almost same number, nothing time like: Python 2.7.3 (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:58:35) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import time >>> time.clock() 0.03 >>> time.clock() 0.03 >>> time.clock() 0.04 >>> time.clock() 0.04 What's wrong there?
