The easiest way to time a code block in Python.
Quick Links:
ez-timer
provides a single, easy to use API for timing function calls.
with ez_timer() as timer:
1 + 1
timer.result
# 0.000001
That is it. That is the API. Solves one problem, and solves it well.
When working on extensive profiling for an enterprise Python project I regularly found myself writing:
start = time.time()
# some code
end = time.time()
result = end - start
# do something with result
While timeit
exists, I found timeit
to be heavy handed for what I needed.
This inspired me to create ez-timer
.
ez-timer can be installed from pypi:
pip install ez-timer
Using ez-timer is simple:
from ez_timer import ez_timer
with ez_timer() as timer:
# run expensive computation
time.sleep(1)
print(timer.result)
# > 1.0001
That's all. That is the API.
