AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock' in Python 3.8

问题

I have written code to generate public and private keys. It works great at Python 3.7 but it fails in Python 3.8. I don't know how it fails in the latest version. Help me with some solutions.

Here's the Code:

from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA


def generate_keys():
    modulus_length = 1024
    key = RSA.generate(modulus_length)
    pub_key = key.publickey()
    private_key = key.exportKey()
    public_key = pub_key.exportKey()
    return private_key, public_key


a = generate_keys()
print(a)

Error in Python 3.8 version:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    a = generate_keys()

回答1:

From the Python 3.8 doc:

The function time.clock() has been removed, after having been deprecated since Python 3.3: use time.perf_counter() or time.process_time() instead, depending on your requirements, to have well-defined behavior. (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier in bpo-36895.)

回答2:

The module you use to generate key call a method that have been depreciated since python 3.3 time.clock().

You could downgrade to python 3.7 or change the source code to replace it. You should open an issue for that as well.
