Hacky Tools, by Hackysack (I'll never get tired of that joke.)

Installation

You can install this package via the command:

pip install hackytools

What do I get?

So far, not much. But I promise that I'm working hard at gathering a bunch of my homemade tools.

For right now, you get a function timer in the form of a decorator.

@timeit

The timing decorator can be used in several ways, illustrated below.

from hackytools import timeit
import time

# Time how long a function takes.
@timeit
def main1():
    time.sleep(2)

# Same thing, but in case you're used to using parentheses
@timeit()
def main2():
    time.sleep(.5)

# Get an average elapsed time by running your function 5 times.
@timeit(repeat=5)
def main3():
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for i in [main1, main2, main3]:
        i()


# main1 elapsed: 2.00 s
# main2 elapsed: 500.38 ms
# main3 average elapsed: 616.67 ns | best (of 5): 300.00 ns | worst (of 5): 1.90 µs

The timing decorator also automatically converts the time returned into a sensible unit, for optimal viewing pleasure.

Just be careful that you don't repeat 50 times, and your code takes 50 seconds each run. That would take forever. Be smart.
