Anyone have an old Pentium II machine?

[Alex Tweedly]

I googled it (can't remember exactly what phrase) and found a page which 
described the obsolete timibg package, and had a "hpw tp replace it 
using the new 'time' package", and copy/pasted the code form that. It 
just put the various funciton in-line - so I had to change e.g. 
"timing.start()" to simply "start()".

Code below ....

import time

timer = time.time

t0 = t1 = 0

def start():
     global t0
     t0 = timer()

def finish():
     global t1
     t1 = timer()

def seconds():
     return int(t1 - t0)

def milli():
     return int((t1 - t0) * 1000)

def micro():
     return int((t1 - t0) * 1000000)

and then left the rest of his code only changed to remove "timing." in 
various places.

(Actually, the code I copied was clever about setting "timer" to either 
time.time or time.clock depending if you were on Windows - but I knew I 
wasn't so I just simplified it. Similarly, I removed the section from 
the concatenation program which tried to get the process size, and 
substituted a "process_size = 0" for it.)
