I am trying to calculate the timings of my python code but I keep getting:
TypeError - 'module' is not callable
import timeit
timeit.timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=10000)
The link I am checking is this - https://docs.python.org/2/library/timeit.html
I would expect to see the time that took the code to run.
Did you perhaps name your file as timeit.py?
$ cat timeit.py
import timeit
timeit.timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=10000)
$ python3 timeit.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "timeit.py", line 1, in <module>
import timeit
File "/path/to/timeit.py", line 2, in <module>
timeit.timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=10000)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
You have to rename your file to something else (ex. mytimeit.py).
Otherwise import will import your timeit instead of the real timeit module.
You can check the import-ed module with print(timeit.__file__).
$ cat timeit.py
import timeit
print(timeit.__file__)
timeit.timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=10000)
$ pwd
/work/scratch
$ python timeit.py
/work/scratch/timeit.py
Traceback (most recent call last)
...
Also, if you want to see "the time that took the code to run", you have to print it.
$ mv timeit.py mytimeit.py
$ cat mytimeit.py
import timeit
print(timeit.__file__)
print(timeit.timeit('"-".join(str(n) for n in range(100))', number=10000))
$ python3 mytimeit.py
/usr/lib/python3.6/timeit.py

python timeit.py from the command line. Guess that's a life lesson to never ever give a file the same name as a module.had a similar "module is not callable" error and my solution was simpler: My solution was:
from timeit import timeit
Let's go!
import time
origin_time = time.time() with this you will get the current time in seconds from the epoch
And whenever you want to know the time spent, just write:
current_spent_time = time.time() - origin_timethis will get again the current time (in seconds) and substracts the previous origin_time which was the time when your code start running.
Hope this helps!!
for i in range(10000)and then append the time to a list and after sum(list)/10000
timeitinstead oftimeit.timeit
