Hi!

import time

def your_function():
    # whatever your function does

loops = 10000    # how often your function is called
begin = time.time()
for x in range(loops):
     your_function()
print "%0.3fs" % (time.time() - begin)

Regards, mawe

yes and to give alittle feedback...

mutliply the total time for one function timing times the number you want to run it and then you have the total time left if you subtract the time you already did....

monkeyman, maybe it's because english is not my mother tongue, but I have no idea what you mean

[monkeyman23555]

Okay I meant that your way is to see how long it takes to run all of them and mine is how long it takes to run one and then calculate the rest of the time or something like that...

I am not mother tongue either

>>> def func(times,function,*args):
	start = time.clock()
	function(args)
	end = time.clock()
	Time = "%f" % (end - start)
	print str(float(Time)*times)+"s"

Thats my code for this thing and I did not run all of them I only ran it once...

It probably does not work to great not very accurate but i hope you get my point...

I would also suggest using time.time() instead of time.clock() for improved compatibility between platforms. It also give better results IMO and is easier to understand .

Not only that.. but time.time( ) works alot faster then time.clock( ) as they are for different purpose's

If you check the Python Library Reference, you will find that the Profiler module has classes and functions for this purpose; for a single function, you probably can use timeit.Timer, while for more detailed profiling you should use profile.run() and pstats.Stats.

hi about the time.clock I just used it because the other time.time did not work???

I don't know why...
