From d246a6766b9d8cc625112906299c4cb019944300 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Stinner Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 00:15:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-36454: Fix test_time.test_monotonic() (GH-12929) Change test_time.test_monotonic() to test only the lower bound of elapsed time after a sleep command rather than the upper bound. This prevents unnecessary test failures on slow buildbots.
