Python datetime.now() 的分辨率

Question

from datetime import datetime
import time
for i in range(1000):
    curr_time  = datetime.now()
    print(curr_time)
    time.sleep(0.0001)

我正在测试 datetime.now() 的分辨率。由于它假设以微秒为单位输出，我预计每次打印都会不同。

然而，我总是得到类似的东西。

为什么会这样？有什么办法可以得到精确到微秒的时间戳？其实我不需要微秒，但如果能达到 0.1ms 分辨率就好了。

===更新====

我将其与使用 time.perf_counter() 并添加到起始 datetime 进行了比较从日期时间导入日期时间，timedelta 导入时间

datetime0 = datetime.now()
t0 = time.perf_counter()
for i in range(1000):
    print('datetime.now(): ', datetime.now())
    print('time.perf_counter(): ', datetime0 + timedelta(0, time.perf_counter()-t0))
    print('\n')

    time.sleep(0.000001)

我不确定 'accurate' 究竟如何，但分辨率至少更高....这似乎无关紧要，因为我的电脑甚至无法以那么高的速度打印。对于我的目的，我只需要不同的时间戳来区分不同的条目，这对我来说已经足够了。

Answer 1

这可能是您系统 time.sleep 的限制，而不是 datetime.now()... 或两者都有。 您运行使用什么 OS 以及 Python 的哪个版本和发行版？

您的系统可能不提供 time.sleep 文档中提到的 "subsecond precision"：

sleep(...)
    sleep(seconds)

    Delay execution for a given number of seconds.  The argument may be
    a floating point number for subsecond precision.

On Linux 3.x on amd64 with CPython 2.7，我得到的结果非常接近你想要的 0.0001 时间步长:
