py-eztimer 1.0.1

A simple and intuitive timer library for measuring elapsed time

EZTimer A simple and intuitive Python timer library for measuring elapsed time with comprehensive pause/resume functionality.

Installation pip install py-eztimer

Quick Start

from eztimer import EZTimer import time

Basic usage

timer = EZTimer() timer.start()

Do some work...

time.sleep(1.5)

print(f"Elapsed time: {timer.get_elapsed_time():.2f} seconds")

Pause/resume functionality

timer.pause() time.sleep(1) # This won't be counted timer.resume() time.sleep(0.5)

print(f"Total time: {timer.get_elapsed_time():.2f} seconds")

Reset and restart

timer.restart()

API Reference

start() Start the timer. If already running, has no effect.

pause() Pause the timer, freezing the current elapsed time.

resume() Resume a paused timer, continuing from where it left off.

get_elapsed_time() -> float Get the total elapsed time in seconds.

reset() Completely reset the timer to zero.

restart() Reset the timer and immediately start counting again.

Examples

Benchmarking Code Execution

from eztimer import EZTimer

timer = EZTimer() timer.start()

Your code to benchmark

result = sum(i*i for i in range(1000000))

elapsed = timer.get_elapsed_time() print(f"Computation took {elapsed:.4f} seconds")

Timing with Pauses

from eztimer import EZTimer import time

timer = EZTimer() timer.start()

First operation

time.sleep(0.5) timer.pause()

User interaction (not timed)

input("Press Enter to continue...")

timer.resume()

Second operation

time.sleep(0.3)

print(f"Active time: {timer.get_elapsed_time():.2f} seconds")
