[Python-Dev] cpython: Issue #10278: Add an optional strict argument to time.steady(), False by default (original) (raw)

I have to agree with Georg. Looking at the code, it appears OSError can be raised with both strict=True and strict=False (since floattime() can raise OSError).

This is an old bug in floattime(): I opened the issue #14368 to remove the unused exception. In practice, it never happens (or it is very unlikely today). IMO it's a bug in floattime().

I also think "By default, if strict is False" confuses things.

I agree, I replaced it by "By default,".
