OK, but why can't I do what the timeit doc suggests, only put 2 or
more functions in the file, as I do here:
<http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/84u1fkgA>
def test():
"Stupid test function"
L = []
for i in range(100):
L.append(i)
if __name__=='__main__':
from timeit import Timer
t = Timer("test()", "from __main__ import test")
print t.timeit()
There's nothing wrong with that, except that running the test *once* (as
you do) is subject to greater chance fluctuations than running it
multiple times: change the last line to:
print min(t.repeat())
Note that you don't *have* to do this, the world will not end if you
don't, but your timing results will be just a little more accurate if
you do.
If you want to time multiple functions, just use multiple timer objects:
t1 = Timer("test()", "from __main__ import test")
t2 = Timer("spam()", "from module import spam")
t3 = Timer("ham()", "from module import ham")
I'm sorry, Steven, but I could you revise this code to use repeat=5
instead of the for loop? I can't see how to do it.
You don't need to choose repeat=5. The default is 3, but you can specify
any number you like. I just like 5 :)
if __name__=='__main__':
from timeit import Timer
for y in range(5):
t = Timer("proper_divisors_sum1(500000)", "from __main__
import proper_divisors_sum")
print round(t.timeit(number=10000),3)
if __name__=='__main__':
from timeit import Timer
t = Timer("proper_divisors_sum(500000)",
"from __main__ import proper_divisors_sum")
best = t.repeat(number=10000, repeat=5)
print round(best, 3)
