Do you still think that we need to modify time.clock() rather than deprecating it?

Yes, to avoid yet another Python 2/3 difference. It should be replaced with the appropriate variant on Windows and non-Windows platforms. From Serhiy's response that's time.process_time() on non-Windows platforms and time.perf_counter() on Windows.

The documentation can point to the new functions and recommend these over time.clock().
