This PEP adds five new functions to the time module:

* time.clockgettimens(clockid) * time.clocksettimens(clockid, time: int) * time.perfcounterns() * time.monotonicns() * time.timens() Why not time.processtimens()?

I only wrote my first email on python-ideas to ask this question, but I got no answer on this question, only proposal of other solutions to get time with nanosecond resolution. So I picked the simplest option: start simple, only add new clocks, and maybe add more "_ns" functions later.

If we add process_time_ns(), should we also add nanosecond resolution to other functions related to process or CPU time?
