I am confused he

It's not C's function, it's a Unix system call.
It's been part of Unix since BSD 4.2
ftime() (millisecond),
Also Unix and predates BSD 4.2...
else it has only plain second precision using time().
Which is an ANSI C

Yes.
I'm not at all sure I understand the original question, but one
plausible interpretation is, "How does python get the time to high
accuracy? I want to do that
Doesn't time.time return a float?
>>> import time
>>> help(time.time)
Help on built-in function time in module time:
time(...)
time() -> floating point number
Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch.
Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.

Use the source...in particular, see floattime() in timemodule.c:

time.time() should provide fractional second accuracy if the system
provides them. Did the system clock actually record fractional seconds?

The underlying OS API generally provides that.
(In other words, how would I get it if python (like some other

You would have to call the OS routines directly from Python
