ticktock is a minimalist library to profile Python code, it displays timing of code snippets periodically.

Quickstart

First, install ticktock:

pip install py-ticktock

Anywhere in your code you can use tick to start a clock, and tock to register the end of the snippet you want to time:

from ticktock import tick

clock = tick()
# do some work
clock.tock()

This will print

⏱️ [3-5] 1ms count=1

Indicating that lines 3-5 take <1ms to run.

If the timed snippet is called multiple times (for example within a loop), measured times will be aggregated and printed periodically (every 2 seconds by default).

As a result, the following code:

from ticktock import tick

for _ in range(1000):
    clock = tick()
    # do some work
    clock.tock()

Will output:

⏱️ [4-6] 1ms count=1000

It is also possible to use ticktock as a context manager to track the timing of a chunk of code:

from ticktock import ticktock

with ticktock():
    time.sleep(1)

Or as a decorator:

from ticktock import ticktock

@ticktock
def f():
    time.sleep(1)
