For new functions altogether, maybe namespaces could be the a nice option -- from time.milliseconds import sleep, monotonic Named parameters would be a better way to implement it,though - I just don't know if having to go through the function that does have to be ready to handle floats anyway won't be in the way of the desired optimization On 22 June 2015 at 21:39, Gregory P.

# We could use the long form names milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds but i worry with those that people would inevitably confuse ms with microseconds as times and APIs usually given the standard abbreviations rather than spelled out.
Note that datetime.timedelta uses long names:
timedelta(milliseconds=5, microseconds=3) datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 5003)
That is a good vote for consistency with its API...
