""" Access routines to the NIST Network Time Services.

    This module allows you to access the UTC standard time bases via
    the Internet. The two functions localtime() and gmtime() will
    return accurate DateTime instances based on the NIST services.

    Since access through the Internet can be slow, the module also
    provides a way to calibrate the computer's clock and then have
    localtime() and gmtime() use the calibrated clock instead of the
    NIST services. To calibrate the two functions, call calibrate()
    with the number of calibration rounds you wish to apply.
