Why does time.time() goes back in time?

[stefano.menci]

Running the following code prints a few rows, which means the time is going backwards:

class Main(MainTemplate):
  def __init__(self, **properties):
    self.init_components(**properties)
    
    t = time.time()
    for _ in range(10000):
      if time.time() < t:
        print('back in time!')
      t = time.time()

This should now be fixed and you should no longer experience any incidents of backwards time travel .
