Class Clock

A convenient class to keep track of time in your experiments. You can have as many independent clocks as you like (e.g. one to time responses, one to keep track of stimuli...) The clock is based on python.time.time() which is a sub-millisec timer on most machines. i.e. the times reported will be more accurate than you need!
