I updated my PEP 564 to add time.processtimens(): https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0564.rst

The HTML version should be updated shortly: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0564/

** In practive, the resolution of 1 nanosecond **

** no need for resolution better than 1 nanosecond in practive in the Python standard library.**

practice vs practice

If I understood you correctly on Python-ideas (here just for the records, otherwise please ignore it):

why not something like (please change '_in' for what you like):

time.time_in(precision) time.monotonic_in(precision)

where precision is an enumeration for: 'seconds', 'milliseconds' 'microseconds'... (or 's', 'ms', 'us', 'ns', ...)

Thanks, --francis
