Time Module - Python

at14

To whom it may concern,

My group has python version 2.2.1 installed on a linux system. I am in the
process of trying to run some software that requires a module called time.
For some reason, our python installation is missing this module. Our
administrator has tried to install a new version, but has hit a brick wall
with requests for strange dependencies. Would it be possible to import the
necessary files into our current installation directories?
Yours faithfully,

Alex Theodossis

As far as I can tell, the time module is implemented as a C extension
and should always be present, unless some "advanced" configuration has
been undertaken somewhere. Is this a vendor/distribution-supplied
version of Python?

Since the time module seems to be implemented by Modules/timemodule.c
then the answer to that question would be "no". What kinds of strange
dependencies are we talking about? Python compiles from source code
without any real configuration on any sane Linux distribution, and
should you *really* need to get Python running (before your
administrator sorts the problem out) then you could just build from
source and then install into some place in your home directory.

I'm starting to suspect package management issues in your environment,
however. Another possibility might be dynamic linking against a
libpython.so belonging to another Python release, but I've never
encountered that personally.

Replaced time module with my own on accident - help

by: Sean Berry | last post by:

I was writing a little script to test different functions of the time module. Like an idiot, I named the test script time.py. Then when I tried to do a "import time" call, I got an error. So, my time.py has overwritten the time.py builtin mod. I have python 2.3 installed on a few different servers, so I was going to copy over the .py file in /usr/local/lib/python2.3, but I could not find one... not even on the servers where I didn't...

How to devise run-time pluggable classes? (MRO problem)

by: François Pinard | last post by:

Hi, everybody. I wish someone could advise me. I'm running in circles, trying to find an elegant way to devise run-time pluggable classes. It all goes around method resolution order, I guess. (We already use various solutions, but the maintenance burden is high.) We have a common module containing many basic classes, but for the sake of simplicity here, I'll use only Element and Connection. Next to this common module, we have many...

[Q] result of os.times() is different with 'time' command

by: kwatch | last post by:

Hi, I have a question about os.times(). os.times() returns a tuple containing user time and system time, but it is not matched to the result of 'time' command. For example, os.times() reports that user time is 39.85 sec, but 'time' command reports that user time is 28.55sec. (machine: Python2.5, MacOS X 10.4 Tiger, MacBook 1.83GHz intel core duo)

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
