Python Timer Functions

EDITOR BRIEF

This article shows how to measure the runtime of Python code using the time module. It then builds a reusable Timer class that can also be used as a context manager, which is a tool for setup and cleanup around a block of code.

INSIGHTS

Timing code helps you find slow parts and compare different approaches. A good next step is to try the timer on a small function you wrote and see how long it takes to run.
