I changed time.monotonic() to not fallback to the system clock exactly for this reason: Python cannot guess what the developer expects, or how the developer will use the clock.
Which is exactly why I like Cameron Simpson's approach to selecting a clock -- let the developer/user decide what kind of clock they need, and ask for one that matches their criteria.
