[Python-Dev] PEP 564: Add new time functions with nanosecond resolution

[Victor Stinner]

Thank you Guido for your review and approval.

I just implemented the PEP 564 and so changed the PEP status to Final.

FYI I also added 3 new clock identifiers to the time module in Python
3.7: CLOCK_BOOTTIME, CLOCK_PROF and CLOCK_UPTIME.

So you can now get your Linux uptime with a resolution of 1 nanosecond :-D

haypo at selma$ ./python -c 'import time;
print(time.clock_gettime_ns(time.CLOCK_BOOTTIME))'
232172588663888

Don't do that at home, it's just for educational purpose only! ;-)
