[New-bugs-announce] [issue19007] precise time.time() under Windows 8

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

For whoever is interested: Windows 8 apparently has a new API named GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime which returns the system API with a much better resolution than GetSystemTimeAsFileTime does ("The GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime function retrieves the current system date and time with the highest possible level of precision (<1us)").
