Resolución de Python de datetime.now ()

Resolución de Python de datetime.now ()

from datetime import datetime
import time
for i in range(1000):
    curr_time  = datetime.now()
    print(curr_time)
    time.sleep(0.0001)

Estaba probando la resolución dedatetime.now(). Como se supone que sale en microsegundos, esperaba que cada impresión fuera diferente.

Sin embargo, siempre obtengo algo así.

¿Por qué sucede eso? ¿Hay alguna manera de que pueda obtener una marca de tiempo precisa hasta el microsegundo? En realidad no necesito microsegundos, pero sería bueno obtener una resolución de 0.1ms.

=== ACTUALIZACIÓN ====

Lo comparé con el uso de time.perf_counter () y agregando al iniciodatetime desde datetime import datetime, timedelta import time

datetime0 = datetime.now()
t0 = time.perf_counter()
for i in range(1000):
    print('datetime.now(): ', datetime.now())
    print('time.perf_counter(): ', datetime0 + timedelta(0, time.perf_counter()-t0))
    print('\n')

    time.sleep(0.000001)

No estoy seguro de cuán 'preciso' es realmente, pero la resolución es al menos más alta ... no parece importar, ya que mi computadora ni siquiera puede imprimir a una velocidad tan alta. Para mi propósito, que simplemente necesito diferentes marcas de tiempo para distinguir diferentes entradas, esto es lo suficientemente bueno para mí.
