due nano vs. pico vs. ...

why not something like (please change '_in' for what you like):

time.time_in(precision)
time.monotonic_in(precision)


If you are not aware yet, I wrote a full PEP: PEP 564. The two discussed
idea are alreafy listed in the PEP, configurable precision and
sub-nanosecond resolution. I tried to explain why I proposed time.time_ns()
in detail in the PEP:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0564/#sub-nanosecond-resolution

You may want to join the discussion on python-dev.
