The manual says:
On Unix, return the current processor time as a
floating point number expressed in seconds.
So I ran this program:
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
while 1:
print time.clock()
This gave me a stream of floats, the integer part of which
only updated about every three seconds. Now, the manual
also states:
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
So I "man 3 clock" and notice:
The value returned is the CPU time used so far as a clock_t; to get
the number
of seconds used, divide by CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
So, I'm wondering how to get that value from python. All I
really want to do is know current time relative to a given
point so that I can capture MIDI events, and store the time
at which they arrive. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks,
Toby
