这很有效:

  python -m timeit -c "$(cat file_name.py)"

简单地传递你的整个代码作为timeit参数:

import timeit

print(timeit.timeit(

"""   
limit = 10000
prime_list = [i for i in range(2, limit+1)]

for prime in prime_list:
    for elem in range(prime*2, max(prime_list)+1, prime):
        if elem in prime_list:
            prime_list.remove(elem)
"""   
, number=10))

import timeit


def oct(x):
   return x*x


timeit.Timer("for x in range(100): oct(x)", "gc.enable()").timeit()

我发现使用timeit最简单的方法是从命令行:

鉴于test.py:

def InsertionSort(): ...
def TimSort(): ...

像这样运行timeit:

% python -mtimeit -s'import test' 'test.InsertionSort()'
% python -mtimeit -s'import test' 'test.TimSort()'

内置的timeit模块在IPython命令行中工作得最好。

为模块内的函数计时:

from timeit import default_timer as timer
import sys

def timefunc(func, *args, **kwargs):
    """Time a function. 

    args:
        iterations=3

    Usage example:
        timeit(myfunc, 1, b=2)
    """
    try:
        iterations = kwargs.pop('iterations')
    except KeyError:
        iterations = 3
    elapsed = sys.maxsize
    for _ in range(iterations):
        start = timer()
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        elapsed = min(timer() - start, elapsed)
    print(('Best of {} {}(): {:.9f}'.format(iterations, func.__name__, elapsed)))
    return result

您将创建两个函数，然后运行与此类似的程序。 注意，您希望选择相同的执行/运行数来比较apple和apple。 这是在Python 3.7下测试的。

下面是便于复制的代码

!/usr/local/bin/python3
import timeit

def fibonacci(n):
    """
    Returns the n-th Fibonacci number.
    """
    if(n == 0):
        result = 0
    elif(n == 1):
        result = 1
    else:
        result = fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
    return result

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import timeit
    t1 = timeit.Timer("fibonacci(13)", "from __main__ import fibonacci")
    print("fibonacci ran:",t1.timeit(number=1000), "milliseconds")
