A (BSD licensed) context manager for timing execution. Useful for benchmarking everyday Python code easily/cleanly.
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))
- Python 2.6+ or Python 3.3+ (may work on Python 2.5)

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.
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.
