That function is simple enough that you can use ctypes to access it: #!/usr/bin/env python __all__ = [“monotonic_time”] import ctypes, os CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW = 4 # see <linux/time.h> class timespec(ctypes.Structure): _fields_ = [ (‘tv_sec’, ctypes.c_long), (‘tv_nsec’, ctypes.c_long) ] librt = ctypes.CDLL(‘librt.so.1’, use_errno=True) clock_gettime = librt.clock_gettime clock_gettime.argtypes = [ctypes.c_int, ctypes.POINTER(timespec)] def monotonic_time(): t = timespec() if clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW … Read more
