Time accuracy to micro seconds is impossible.. the closest you can get is minutes not even seconds

I don't think programs can be always 100% accurate.

No till now i couldn't make a program accurate. Even the variation is not constant.

I was trying to make a digital clock by using .after() method in python, and it's not accurate at all. Milliseconds variation for every call is high and not able to be controlled because of the Cpu frequency...
