在Python中通过Windows核心API获取高精度计时

为了获取微秒级的高精度计时，可以调用windows操作系统提供的API来这现。基本原理是通过QueryPerformanceFrequency()获取cpu频率；通过QueryPerformanceCounter()获取每秒的计数值，用计数值之差除以频率就可以得到流逝的时间。

为了调用的方便，将该功能封装成了class。
文件 timer.py放置于目录highPrecTimer之下，该目录下还放置了一个空文件__init__.py，于是该目录成为了一个python模块。

timer.py的内容如下

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*- 
# 用于提供较高精度的时间差,根据文献，精度可达微秒级

import time,ctypes
import datetime

#提供类方法，获取时间差
class SingleTimer(object):
	__freq =None
	__beginCount=0
	__endCount =0		

	@classmethod
	def counter(cls):
		freq = ctypes.c_longlong(0)
		ctypes.windll.kernel32.QueryPerformanceCounter(ctypes.byref(freq))
		return freq.value

	@classmethod
	def beginCount(cls):
		freq = ctypes.c_longlong(0)
		ctypes.windll.kernel32.QueryPerformanceFrequency(ctypes.byref(freq))
		cls.__freq=freq.value
		cls.__beginCount = cls.counter()		

	#时间差，精确到微秒
	@classmethod
	def secondsDiff(cls):
		cls.__endCount = cls.counter()
		return (cls.__endCount-cls.__beginCount)/(cls.__freq+0.)

#提供实例方法，获取时间差
class Timer(object):	

	def __init__(self):
		freq = ctypes.c_longlong(0)
		ctypes.windll.kernel32.QueryPerformanceFrequency(ctypes.byref(freq))
		self.__freq=freq.value
		self.__beginCount = self.counter()	
	
	def counter(self):
		freq = ctypes.c_longlong(0)
		ctypes.windll.kernel32.QueryPerformanceCounter(ctypes.byref(freq))
		return freq.value
	
	def beginCount(self):		
		self.__beginCount = self.counter()		

	#时间差，精确到微秒	
	def secondsDiff(self):
		self.__endCount = self.counter()
		return (self.__endCount-self.__beginCount)/(self.__freq+0.)
