# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ monotonic ~~~~~~~~~ This module provides a ``monotonic()`` function which returns the value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards. On Python 3.3 or newer, ``monotonic`` will be an alias of ``time.monotonic`` from the standard library. On older versions, it will fall back to an equivalent implementation: +-------------+--------------------+ | Linux, BSD | clock_gettime(3) | +-------------+--------------------+ | Windows | GetTickCount64 | +-------------+--------------------+ | OS X | mach_absolute_time | +-------------+--------------------+ If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform, attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will cause a RuntimeError exception to be raised.
