Literally another code timer (with fancy plotting)
Project description
Repository: https://github.com/dangcpham/anothertimer
Just another timer for code timing. anothertimer enables easy timing for code runs, saving timing data, and provides basic plotting capabilities. Example usage:
from anothertimer import Timer timer = Timer() timer.tic() #some code here timer.toc()
Saving and loading data (modes ‘a’ for append and ‘w’ for write):
timer.dump('example.csv', mode='a') timer.load('example2.csv')
Plotting can be done via:
timer.plot()
Check out example.py on GitHub for some more features (stopwatch/sections) and plots!
Installation
pip install anothertimer
Dependecies
Standard Python libraries (typing, time, os, csv).
matplotlib (optional) - for plotting.
Overhead
Measured by pstats on example.py, core functionalities causes minimal (<0.001s) overhead. Plotting causes some overhead (due to matplotlib plotting, on the order of a few seconds), so plot carefully.
Precision
Currently, anothertimer uses the time.time() function to keep track of time. The precision is in the sub-second range (read more about Python timing at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0564/, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1938048/high-precision-clock-in-python). Currently, it is not a good idea to use this package for high precision applications, consider the timeit module.
