monotonic
=========
This module provides a ``monotonic()`` function which returns the
value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
It is compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
On Python 3.3 or newer, ``monotonic`` will be an alias of
[``time.monotonic``][0] from the standard library. On older versions,
it will fall back to an equivalent implementation:
OS | Implementation
-------------|-------------------------
Linux, *BSD | [clock_gettime][1]
Windows | [GetTickCount[64]][2]
OS X | [mach_absolute_time][3]
If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform,
attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will
cause a RuntimeError exception to be raised.
monotonic is available via the Python Cheese Shop (PyPI):
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/monotonic/
