The documentation for Python 3.8 and higher still refer to 'clock' as an accepted 'name' argument for time.get_clock_info() that returns a namespace readable by time.clock(), despite time.clock() being removed since Python 3.8.

See the first bullet point in the function documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/time.html#time.get_clock_info

In Python 3.8, calling time.get_clock_info('clock') raises "ValueError: unknown clock", so it seems the bug is only in the documentation.

Sure, no problem. I've just signed the CLA and forked the code. I'll wait a day for the CLA check to clear then submit.
