[Python-Dev] PEP 418: Add monotonic clock (original) (raw)

I think the PEP should enumerate what platforms that CPython supports that will not benefit from a real monotonic clock. I think the number of platforms will be such a minority that the emulation makes sense. Practicality beats purity, and all.

The PEP lists OS monotonic clocks by platform. Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, and "UNIX" (CLOCK_MONOTONIC & friends) provide monotonic clocks. I don't know any platform without monotonic clock.
