NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks accurate by synchronizing them over the Internet or a local network, or by following an accurate hardware receiver that interprets GPS, DCF-77, or similar time signals.

This package contains the Python "ntp" module, which contains helper classes for NTP utilities written in Python.

This is part of NTPsec. NTPsec is a secure, hardened, and improved implementation derived from the original NTP project.
