If you want to define new clocks, then I wish you would use the same definitions that C++0x is using. That is:

 systemclock = wall clock time  monotonicclock = always goes forward but can be adjusted  steadyclock = always goes forward and cannot be adjusted  highresolutionclock = steadyclock || systemclock

+1. This seems like an ideal case for following prior art in designing a Python API.
