<p>This module provides a simple way to time small bits of Python code. It has both
a <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit-command-line-interface"><span class="std std-ref">Command-Line Interface</span></a> as well as a <a class="reference internal" href="#python-interface"><span class="std std-ref">callable</span></a>
one. It avoids a number of common traps for measuring execution times.
See also Tim Peters’ introduction to the “Algorithms” chapter in the second
edition of <em>Python Cookbook</em>, published by O’Reilly.</p>
<section id="basic-examples">
<h2>Basic Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-examples" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The following example shows how the <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit-command-line-interface"><span class="std std-ref">Command-Line Interface</span></a>
can be used to compare three different expressions:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell-session notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$ </span>python<span class="w"> </span>-m<span class="w"> </span>timeit<span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;&#39;-&#39;.join(str(n) for n in range(100))&quot;</span>

<p>A callable can also be passed from the <a class="reference internal" href="#python-interface"><span class="std std-ref">Python Interface</span></a>:</p>

</div>
<p>Note however that <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.timeit" title="timeit.timeit"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeit()</span></code></a> will automatically determine the number of

<dd><p>Class for timing execution speed of small code snippets.</p>
<p>The constructor takes a statement to be timed, an additional statement used
for setup, and a timer function. Both statements default to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'pass'</span></code>;
the timer function is platform-dependent (see the module doc string).
<em>stmt</em> and <em>setup</em> may also contain multiple statements separated by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">;</span></code>
or newlines, as long as they don’t contain multi-line string literals. The
statement will by default be executed within timeit’s namespace; this behavior
can be controlled by passing a namespace to <em>globals</em>.</p>
<p>To measure the execution time of the first statement, use the <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.timeit" title="timeit.Timer.timeit"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeit()</span></code></a>
method. The <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.repeat" title="timeit.Timer.repeat"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repeat()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.autorange" title="timeit.Timer.autorange"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">autorange()</span></code></a> methods are convenience
methods to call <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.timeit" title="timeit.Timer.timeit"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeit()</span></code></a> multiple times.</p>
<p>The execution time of <em>setup</em> is excluded from the overall timed execution run.</p>
<p>The <em>stmt</em> and <em>setup</em> parameters can also take objects that are callable
without arguments. This will embed calls to them in a timer function that
will then be executed by <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.timeit" title="timeit.Timer.timeit"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeit()</span></code></a>. Note that the timing overhead is a
little larger in this case because of the extra function calls.</p>
<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.5: </span>The optional <em>globals</em> parameter was added.</p>
</div>
<dl class="py method">
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="timeit.Timer.timeit">

<dd><p>Time <em>number</em> executions of the main statement. This executes the setup
statement once, and then returns the time it takes to execute the main
statement a number of times. The default timer returns seconds as a float.
The argument is the number of times through the loop, defaulting to one
million. The main statement, the setup statement and the timer function
to be used are passed to the constructor.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>By default, <a class="reference internal" href="#timeit.Timer.timeit" title="timeit.Timer.timeit"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeit()</span></code></a> temporarily turns off <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-garbage-collection"><span class="xref std std-term">garbage
collection</span></a> during the timing. The advantage of this approach is that
it makes independent timings more comparable. The disadvantage is
that GC may be an important component of the performance of the
function being measured. If so, GC can be re-enabled as the first
statement in the <em>setup</em> string. For example:</p>

<p>It’s tempting to calculate mean and standard deviation from the result
vector and report these. However, this is not very useful.
In a typical case, the lowest value gives a lower bound for how fast
your machine can run the given code snippet; higher values in the
result vector are typically not caused by variability in Python’s
speed, but by other processes interfering with your timing accuracy.
So the <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#min" title="min"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">min()</span></code></a> of the result is probably the only number you
should be interested in. After that, you should look at the entire
vector and apply common sense rather than statistics.</p>

<p>A multi-line statement may be given by specifying each line as a separate

<p>If <a class="reference internal" href="#cmdoption-timeit-n"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-n</span></code></a> is not given, a suitable number of loops is calculated by trying

to repeat the timing a few times and use the best time. The <a class="reference internal" href="#cmdoption-timeit-r"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-r</span></code></a>

<p>In the output, there are three fields. The loop count, which tells you how many
times the statement body was run per timing loop repetition. The repetition
count (‘best of 5’) which tells you how many times the timing loop was
repeated, and finally the time the statement body took on average within the
best repetition of the timing loop. That is, the time the fastest repetition
took divided by the loop count.</p>

<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">test</span><span class="p">():</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="sd">&quot;&quot;&quot;Stupid test function&quot;&quot;&quot;</span>
<span class="n">L</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">i</span> <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="nb">range</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">100</span><span class="p">)]</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="vm">__name__</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="s1">&#39;__main__&#39;</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="kn">import</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">timeit</span>
<span class="nb">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">timeit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">timeit</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;test()&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">setup</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;from __main__ import test&quot;</span><span class="p">))</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Another option is to pass <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#globals" title="globals"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">globals()</span></code></a> to the <em>globals</em> parameter, which will cause the code
to be executed within your current global namespace. This can be more convenient
than individually specifying imports:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">**</span><span class="mi">2</span>
<span class="k">def</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">g</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">**</span><span class="mi">4</span>
<span class="k">def</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nf">h</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">**</span><span class="mi">8</span>
<span class="kn">import</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">timeit</span>
<span class="nb">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">timeit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">timeit</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;[func(42) for func in (f,g,h)]&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nb">globals</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nb">globals</span><span class="p">()))</span>
