If the symbol names are not the horribleness, can you qualify what API you would like more?
Well, get_clock(monotonic=True, highres=True) would be a vast improvement over get_clock(MONOTONIC|HIRES).
Allowing get_clock(True, True)? Ick. My nomination would be get_clock(MONOTONIC, HIGHRES) -- easier on the eyes with no |.
I also think it should raise an error if not found. The clarity and easy of use of the API is much more important than how much you can do in one line.
What's unclear about returning None if no clocks match? Cheers, ~Ethan~
