benchmark 0.1.0

Python benchmarker/benchmarking framework

benchmark is a Python benchmarking framework, similar to Steve Purcell’s unittest in basic structure. It’s as simple as:

import benchmark

import math

class Benchmark_Sqrt(benchmark.Benchmark):

    def test_pow_operator(self):
        for i in xrange(750000):
            z = i**.5

    def test_pow_function(self):
        for i in xrange(750000):
            z = pow(i, .5)

    def test_sqrt_function(self):
        for i in xrange(750000):
            z = math.sqrt(i)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    benchmark.main(each=50, format="markdown")

which produces:
