timevery 0.1.3

Monitor the time cost of your code easily.

timevery

Python timer for measuring execution time.

Quick Start

• Install timevery:

  pip install timevery
  

You can use timevery.Timer in several different ways:

1. As a class:

   a = Timer("Detect", show_freq=True, logger=print)
   
   for i in range(5):
       a.start()
   
       time.sleep(0.1)
       a.lap("detect")
   
       if i % 2 == 0:
           time.sleep(0.1)
           a.lap("segment")
   
       time.sleep(0.2)
       a.lap("plot")
       a.stop()
   a.report()
   

   Click to see the output

   >>>

       Elapsed time of detect: 0.1002 seconds.
       Elapsed time of segment: 0.1003 seconds.
       Elapsed time of plot: 0.2003 seconds.

2. As a context manager:

   with Timer("MakeRobot", show_report=True) as t:
       time.sleep(1)
       t.lap("foot")
       time.sleep(1)
       t.lap("hand")
       time.sleep(1)
       t.lap("head")
       time.sleep(2)
       t.lap("body")
       time.sleep(1)
       t.lap("combine")
   

   Click to see the output

   >>>
       MakeRobot started.
       Elapsed time of foot: 1.0011 seconds.
       Elapsed time of hand: 1.0012 seconds.
       Elapsed time of head: 1.0010 seconds.
       Elapsed time of body: 2.0021 seconds.
       Elapsed time of combine: 1.0012 seconds.
       Elapsed time of MakeRobot: 6.0068 seconds.

3. As a decorator:

   @Timer("Locate")
   def locate():
       time.sleep(1)
       print("located")
   
   locate()
   

   Click to see the output

   >>>
       Locate started.
       located
       Elapsed time of Locate: 1.0011 seconds.
