time.clock() documentation [1] says:

  this is the function to use for benchmarking Python or timing algorithms.

and

  Deprecated since version 3.3: The behaviour of this function depends on the platform: use perf_counter() or process_time() instead, depending on your requirements, to have a well defined behaviour.

The first remark is incorrect since 3.3. I've attached a documentation patch that removes it.
