Timer

This page is current as of blz v2.6

The timer package aims to help with timing parts of program execution, particularily for performance testing purposes.

Timer() - Creates a new timer

Example:

import Timer
timer = Timer()

start() - (Re)starts the timer

A timer is already started when it is created, but if you want finer control on when it is started, use this method.

Example:

import Timer
timer = Timer()
# Do some stuff
timer.start()

seconds_elapsed() - Returns a number representing the number of seconds elapsed

Example:

import Timer
timer = Timer()
sleep(1000)
print(timer.seconds_elapsed())

Sample Output:

21/20

milliseconds_elapsed() - Returns an integer representing the number of milliseconds elapsed

Example:

import Timer
timer = Timer()
sleep(1000)
print(timer.millseconds_elapsed())

Sample Output:
