Message 304504 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I don't think this is a good idea. I still use time.clock() out of habit (on Windows), and from the PR it's clear that the standard library and tests do too. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find others do as well.

I realize it's been deprecated since 3.3, but without a DeprecatingWarning, that's easy to miss. What about adding a DeprecatingWarning for 3.7 and deprecate it later, maybe in 3.9? (I know that's a long time, but time.clock() is an old function so we should be cautious!)
