Deprecation message in timemodule.c says:

"time.clock has been deprecated in Python 3.3 and will be removed from Python 3.8: use time.perf_counter or time.process_time instead"

Should be bumped to 3.9 – or time.clock should be removed.

Deprecation was added by Victor Stinner.

[Carreau]

Vstiner, added you as you added the deprecation notice. I'm happy to take care of the removal and/or update the deprecation warning to 3.9.

I saw the PR before the bug comment. merged. if we find a _good_ reason to delay this removal a cycle during the 3.8 betas we can bring it back.

thanks for staying on top of the removal plan!

Thanks to you for the quick integration; I'm happy if we need to bring it back, but at least having it removed during betas/alphas will nudge people toward updating their code.

I would prefer to remove time.clock() documentation if the function is removed.

Would you mind to update Python 3.7 documentation to mention that the function is removed from Python 3.8?
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/time.html#time.clock

In short, use ".. deprecated-removed:: 3.3 3.8 " in Python 3.7 doc.

[tirkarthi]

Should this section also be updated about time.clock removal?

https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#api-and-feature-removals

[Carreau]

Done:

• 1 PR against master to remove the documentation and update api-and-feature-removals
• and one against 3.7 to add the deprecated-removed.

time.clock() marked for removal in 3.8 – still there.

Nope, it's now gone :-) I close the issue.
