[Python-Dev] PEP 564: Add new time functions with nanosecond resolution (original) (raw)

That sounds like unnecessary generality, and also suggests that the API might support precisions way beyond what is realistic.

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.timein(precision) time.monotonicin(precision) where precision is an enumeration for: 'seconds', 'milliseconds' 'microseconds'... (or 's', 'ms', 'us', 'ns', ...) Thanks, --francis
