AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

Answer

The error occurs because in python 2, there is time.clock(), but in python 3, it has been replaced with time.perf_counter().

Just replace all the time.clock to time.perf_counter, and it should be fine. For more info: https://www.webucator.com/blog/2015/08/python-clocks-explained/
