Message 305004 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I would like to add my voice to MAL's objections. I was not aware of time.clock() depreciation before Victor brought this issue to my attention. time.clock() is a very well-known API eponymous to a venerable UNIX system call. Its limitations and platform dependencies are very well-known as well. For someone new to python, seeing time.clock() would probably not require a trip to the library reference, but seeing time.perf_counter() is likely to cause a WTF reaction even from an experienced python developer.
