NOTE: This library is considered stable and complete, and will not receive
any further updates. Python versions 3.3 and newer include
time.monotonic() in the standard library.
This module provides a monotonic() function which returns the
value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
It is compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
On Python 3.3 or newer, monotonic will be an alias of
time.monotonic from the standard library. On older versions,
it will fall back to an equivalent implementation:
| OS | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Linux, BSD, AIX | clock_gettime |
| Windows | GetTickCount or GetTickCount64 |
| OS X | mach_absolute_time |
If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform, attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will cause a RuntimeError exception to be raised.
monotonic is available via the Python Cheese Shop (PyPI): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/monotonic/
