Python's implementation on console.time()

cTime

JavaScipt has console.time(). Why not implement similiar thing to Python?

What is it?

It's a simple timer that returns time in milliseconds from start to the end. Each timer has a name so you can identify them.

Usage

Place cTime.py and __init__.py into your project's folder.

For ex.:

myProject/
 __init__.py
 cTime.py
 mySuperScript.py

Inside your script (mySuperScript.py) you need to import cTime:

import cTime

If you want to start a new timer:

cTime.time(name, _round=2, _print=False)

Where:

• name - timer name, if there's already a timer with that name, CollisionError Exception will be throw (I have to rethink if I really need custom error)
• _round - round precision, must be integer, default 2
• _print - make it True if you want cTime to automatically print results. If it's false, it will return a floating point number. Default False

If you want to stop it:

cTime.timeEnd(name)

Where:

• name - it's the name of the timer.

See example.py for, well, you've guessed it, an example ;P

Note It's not delay-free implementation, you have to know that cTime adds a few ms to results.
