A (BSD licensed) context manager for timing execution.
Project description
A (BSD licensed) context manager for timing execution. Useful for benchmarking everyday Python code easily/cleanly.
Usage
Usage is trivial. Simply wrap your code in a Timer context manager. Example:
from chrono import Timer with Timer() as timed: # Put whatever logic you want here. # ``for`` loops are great here for timing things that are very fast. print("Time spent: {0} seconds".format(timed.elapsed))
Requirements
Python 2.6+ or Python 3.3+ (may work on Python 2.5)
License
BSD
Shortcomings
This is implemented in pure Python, so it doesn’t have the accuracy a C extension would have. There’s also overhead for the context manager function calls, so don’t use this to bench C code.
That said, for most everyday usage of Python, it’s very helpful.
Running Tests
Setup:
$ git clone https://github.com/toastdriven/chrono.git $ cd chrono $ virtualenv -p python3 env3 $ . env3/bin/activate $ pip install nose
Running:
$ nosetests -s -v tests.py
chrono is maintained with 100% passing tests at all times.
