Unlike the C function of the same name, :func:`asctime` does not add a
trailing newline.
.. function:: clock()
.. index::
single: CPU time
single: processor time
single: benchmarking
On Unix, return the current processor time as a floating point number expressed
in seconds. The precision, and in fact the very definition of the meaning of
"processor time", depends on that of the C function of the same name.
On Windows, this function returns wall-clock seconds elapsed since the first
call to this function, as a floating point number, based on the Win32 function
:c:func:`QueryPerformanceCounter`. The resolution is typically better than one
microsecond.
.. availability:: Windows, Unix. Not available on VxWorks.
.. deprecated-removed:: 3.3 3.8
The behaviour of this function depends on the platform: use
:func:`perf_counter` or :func:`process_time` instead, depending on your
requirements, to have a well defined behaviour.
.. function:: pthread_getcpuclockid(thread_id)
Return the *clk_id* of the thread-specific CPU-time clock for the specified *thread_id*.

* The function :func:`platform.popen` has been removed, it was deprecated since
Python 3.3: use :func:`os.popen` instead.
* The function :func:`time.clock` has been removed, it was deprecated since Python
3.3: use :func:`time.perf_counter` or :func:`time.process_time` instead, depending
on your requirements, to have a well defined behavior.
* The ``pyvenv`` script has been removed in favor of ``python3.8 -m venv``
to help eliminate confusion as to what Python interpreter the ``pyvenv``
script is tied to. (Contributed by Brett Cannon in :issue:`25427`.)
