What is wrong with time.time()?


>>> import time
>>> time.time()
1160578386.0109401
>>> time.time()
1160578386.87324
>>> time.time()
1160578387.5790291
>>> x = time.time()
>>> y = time.time()
>>> z = y-x
>>> z
4.6488111019134521

The difference between x and y is the number of seconds between 'polling's of the OS.  There are some issues with precision.
