qblox_scheduler.helpers.time

Python time wrapper functions.

These function help to make time dependent modules testable.

Functions

get_time(→ float)	Return the time in seconds since the epoch as a floating point number.
sleep(→ None)	Delay execution for a given number of seconds.

Module Contents

get_time() → float

Return the time in seconds since the epoch as a floating point number.

Acts as a wrapper around time.time() in order to make it testable. Mocking time.time() can conflicts with the internal python ticker thread.

Returns:

: Time since epoch

sleep(seconds: float) → None

Delay execution for a given number of seconds.

The argument may be a floating point number for subsecond precision.

Parameters:

seconds – The amount of time to wait.
