Quick Install

$ pip install MonkeyScope
$ python3
>>> import MonkeyScope, random
>>> MonkeyScope.timer(random.random)
Typical Timing: 32 ± 12 ns

Installation may require the following:

• Python 3.6 or later with dev tools (setuptools, pip, etc.)
• Cython: pip install Cython
• Modern C++17 compiler and standard library for your platform.

MonkeyScope Specifications

• MonkeyScope.distribution_timer(func: staticmethod, *args, **kwargs) -> None
  • Logger for the statistical analysis of non-deterministic generators.
  • @param func :: function, method or lambda to analyze. Evaluated as func(*args, **kwargs)
  • @optional_kw num_cycles=10000 :: Total number of samples to use for analysis.
  • @optional_kw post_processor=None :: Used to scale a large set of data into a smaller set of groupings for better visualization of the data, esp. useful for distributions of floats. For many functions in quick_test(), math.floor() is used, for others round() is more appropriate. For more complex post processing - lambdas work nicely. Post processing only affects the distribution, the statistics and performance results are unaffected.
• MonkeyScope.distribution(func: staticmethod, *args, **kwargs) -> None
  • Stats and distribution.
• MonkeyScope.timer(func: staticmethod, *args, **kwargs) -> None
  • Just the function timer.

MonkeyScope Example

import MonkeyScope, random


x, y, z = 1, 10, 2
MonkeyScope.distribution_timer(random.randint, x, y)
MonkeyScope.distribution_timer(random.randrange, x, y)
MonkeyScope.distribution_timer(random.randrange, x, y, z)
