Project description
A timer module. Makes it easy to track elapsed time.
Installation
Latest stable version on PyPI:
$ pip install simple_timer
Latest stable version on bitbucket:
$ pip install -e hg+http://bitbucket.org/barseghyanartur/timer@stable#egg=simple_timer
Usage example
Required imports.
>>> from simple_timer import Timer
Initialise timer.
>>> timer = Timer()
Print elapsed duration.
>>> print timer.duration 0.16
Print elapsed timedelta.
>>> print timer.timedelta datetime.timedelta(0, 0, 7)
Stop the timer. Stopping the timer makes the duration and timedelta properties to freeze.
>>> timer.stop()
Print frozen timedelta value.
>>> print timer.timedelta datetime.timedelta(0, 2, 943660)
Print frozen duration value.
>>> print timer.duration 2.94366
Once stoped, when calling the stop method again unfreezes the timer, calculates the new values and freezes the timer again.
Shortcut for stopping and returning the duration value.
>>> timer.stop_and_return_duration() 143.230978
Shortcut for stopping and returning the timedelta value.
>>> timer.stop_and_return_timedelta() datetime.timedelta(0, 170, 351115)
