cTimer Description

cTimer is a Python module that provides a nanosecond-precision timer to Python.Usage import cTimer as timer start = timer.start() # Do a bunch of things here that take some time. checkpoint = timer.checkpoint() # Do some more time-vampire things here. stop = timer.stop() print timer.diff(start, stop) # Total execution time print timer.diff(start, checkpoint) # Execution time of first half print timer.diff(checkpoint, stop) # Execution time of second half print timer.get() # Time since cTimer was importedMethods**`start()`** - returns an `int` referencing the current time stamp.**`checkpoint()`** - returns an `int` referencing the current time stamp.**`stop()`** - returns an `int` referencing the current time stamp.**`diff(int A, int B)`** - returns the difference between two timestamp references provided by `start()`, `checkpoint()` or `stop()`. Order does not matter, result is always a positive `float` representing seconds.**`get()`** - returns the number of seconds as a `float` since the `cTimer` library was `import`ed.InstallationClone the repository into a new folder. Run the following commands (you *may* need to `sudo` the second one): python setup.py build python setup.py installNotesThis is a lightweight extension and has not been thouroughly tested on all combinations of platforms and Python versions.It has been tested on CentOS 5, Ubuntu 10.4, and OSX 10.5 to 10.8 using Python 2.7 and Python 3.2. All platforms were 64-bit.This *should* work with 32-bit hosts, but that has not been tested yet.This *does not* work on Windows hosts yet.Product's homepage
