time.clock is removed in Python 3.8

[tirkarthi]

time.clock was deprecated in 3.3 and was removed in 3.8 with PR python/cpython#13270 . I think below line might cause incompatibility in 3.8 on Windows so I am creating an issue for the same.

autobahn-python/autobahn/util.py

Line 466 in 87ea1cc

_rtime = time.clock

Thanks

Hi @oberstet
Do you plan to fix this issue? We receive a lot of issues related to time.clock when Python 3.8 is installed.

[oberstet]

from quick reading, seems like

• time.clock is depr. since 3.8 on all platforms
• autobahn only uses time.clock when on windows

so we should extend this line (and only that)

autobahn-python/autobahn/util.py

Line 466 in 87ea1cc

_rtime = time.clock

to use

https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/time.html#time.perf_counter

when on >=3.8 (and on windows, which is already the case for the code line I linked)

[ivankravets]

Yes, we patched autobahn-python with time.perf_counter for pre-compiled packages.
