In this article, we will see about timeit module which can be used for performance testing for small functions.
Example
import timeit
timeit.timeit(stmt="filter(None, [None. 2, 3, None, False, 4])", number=10000)stmt is the statement or code snippet to be executed
number is the number of times to execute the statement
You can also repeat a single statement multiple times using timeit.repeat. Let us see a simple example for it.
import timeit
timeit.repeat(stmt="filter(None, [None, 2, 3, None, False, 4])", repeat=5, number=10)The execution of the statement will be repeated for the mentioned number of times in repeat attribute and executes for number of times every time. It returns the list of time taken in seconds for executing the statement.
