high resolution time needed

[Uwe Mayer]

Hi,

I need a function returning a time value with a higher resolution that the
standard 1sec unix timestamp. I found the clock() function in the time
module, but that seems to return the same value (in the Python shell) each
time I call it (Debian Linux speaking here).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Uwe

Standard unix is a millisecond. And time.time() actually delivers a float
with sub-second precision.
