Method Details

get_time(self)

source code

Calculate a non-decreasing time.

Uses the time() function to calculate non-decreasing time values. Checks to make sure the time values are non-decreasing, and also don't change by more than _MAXFORWARD seconds within a reading. These could occur if the system clock was changed during the running of the program.

Returns: float: the current time
