Did I not say earlier - sorry. I'm suggesting that you put each timing run into a separate Python process. # Optimised code python -m perf timeit -s "from mymod import FastList; L=<whatever you do to create the list>;F=FastList(L)" "F.fastsort()" # Core sort routine python -m perf timeit -s "L=<whatever you do to create the list>" "L.sort()" # Or maybe, if FastList exposes the existing sort function as well # Non-optimised code python -m perf timeit -s "from mymod import FastList; L=<whatever you do to create the list>;F=FastList(L)" "F.sort()" Paul. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
