clock-time 1.0

Provide sleep(secs)/time_s() functions

Introduction

Provide sleep(secs) / time_s() functions. Fix overflow bugs in CPython implementation so far (v3.14.0a1).

sleep(secs)

Use clock_nanosleep() with CLOCK_MONOTONIC to sleep. So that the sleep is not affected by system date/time jumps.

On CPython 3.11+, time.sleep() function already use this method.

time_s()

Return time as an integer number of seconds since the epoch.

Usage

Only provide source code distribution, user need to install the build toolchain. It can’t be compiled on platforms without clock_nanosleep().

try:
    from clock_time import sleep, time_s
except ImportError:
    from time import sleep, time_ns
    def time_s():
        return time_ns() // 1_000_000_000

sleep(secs)
t = time_s()
