[issue9079] Make gettimeofday available in time module

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The original patch, gettimeofday.diff was just refactoring.  I unlinked it to keep the file list clean, but it is still available:

http://bugs.python.org/file17766/gettimeofday.diff

I decided to expose time.gettimeofday() in the same patch mostly in order to be able to better explain the consequences of the change such as date.today() now being equivalent to date.fromtimestamp(time.gettimeofday()[0]) rather than date.fromtimestamp(time.time()).
