Python 3.3 has 3 functions to get time: - time.clock() - time.steady() - time.time() Antoine Pitrou suggested to deprecated time.clock() in msg120149 (issue #10278). "The problem is time.clock(), since it does two wildly different things depending on the OS. I would suggest to deprecate time.clock() at the same time as we add time.wallclock(). For the Unix-specific definition of time.clock(), there is already os.times() (which gives even richer information)." (time.wallclock was the old name of time.steady)
