Python Timer Functions

Real Python

EDITOR BRIEF

This article explains how to measure Python code execution using the time module. It then shows how to create a reusable Timer class that can be used as a context manager, which is a tool for managing setup and cleanup automatically.

INSIGHTS

Timing code helps you spot slow parts and compare approaches. A good next step is to practice wrapping a small script with a timer, then refactor it into a context manager.
