time.perf_counter() on Windows and time.monotonic() on macOS are now
system-wide. Previously, they used an offset computed at startup to
reduce the precision loss caused by the float type. Use
time.perf_counter_ns() and time.monotonic_ns() added in Python 3.7 to
avoid this precision loss.
`time.clock()` was removed in Python 3.8, but it was still mentioned
in the documentation for when `time.get_clock_info()` is given the
argument `'clock'`. This commit removes that mention.
The Y2K reference is not needed as it only points out that Python's use
of C standard functions doesn't generally suffer from Y2K issues; the
point regarding conventions for conversion of 2-digit years in
:func:`strptime` is still valid.
* bpo-13927: time.ctime and time.asctime return string explantion
* Add note explaining that time.ctime and time.asctime returns a space padded date value in case it contains a single digit date
* Reformat linebreaks
Add new time functions:
* time.clock_gettime_ns()
* time.clock_settime_ns()
* time.monotonic_ns()
* time.perf_counter_ns()
* time.process_time_ns()
* time.time_ns()
Add new _PyTime functions:
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromNanosecondsObject()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
Other changes:
* Add also os.times() tests to test_os.
* pytime_fromtimeval() and pytime_fromtimeval() now return
_PyTime_MAX or _PyTime_MIN on overflow, rather than undefined
behaviour
* _PyTime_FromNanoseconds() parameter type changes from long long to
_PyTime_t
bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
* Separated functions and constants descriptions in sections.
* Added a note about the limitations of timezone constants.
* Removed redundant lists from the module docstring.
* bpo-29026: Clarity documentation of time.time
Clarify the documentation of time.time by more
precisely defining what is meant by "seconds since
the epoch" on most platforms. Additionally explain
how gmtime and localtime may be used to extract
calendar components and convert to a more common
date format.
