+Remove time.clock(), deprecated in 3.8
+
+The function time.clock(), used in passlib/utils/__init__.py
+has been removed. It was deprecated since Python 3.3.
+More info:
+https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#api-and-feature-removals
+
+To make the code both Python 2 and 3 compatible, use timeit.default_timer
