Is there a function to determine execution time in Python???

Question

in Matlab there is a
tic
//commands
//commands
toc
method for timing process's. is there something like this in Python

Answer 1

import time
start = time.time()
//commands
//commands
end = time.time()
print end - start

Answer 2

timeit is designed to smooth out execution time differences over many iterations:

from timeit import timeit
print( timeit('costly_func()') ) # default 100000 iterations

The Windows high-resolution timer appears to be unavailable here, so accuracy is about 15.8ms

# Some optional parameters:
# setup='from mymodule import costly_func', number=howManyTimes

Answer 3

it works
thanks for your help
