ticktock is a minimalist library to view Python time performance of Python code.

Overview

ticktock

Simple Python code metering library.


ticktock is a minimalist library to view Python time performance of Python code.

First, install ticktock:

pip install py-ticktock

Then, anywhere in your code you can use tick to start a clock, and tock to register the end of the snippet you want to time:

t = tick()
# do some work
t.tock()

Even if the code is called many times within a loop, measured times will only periodially (2 seconds by default):

import time
from ticktock import tick

for _ in range(1000):
    t = tick()
    # do some work
    time.sleep(1)
    t.tock()

You can create multiple independent ticks, which will appear as two separate clocks:

for _ in range(1000):
    t = tick()
    # do some work
    time.sleep(1)
    t.tock()

    t = tick()
    # do some other work
    time.sleep(0.5)
    t.tock()

Ticks can share a common starting point:

for k in range(1000):
    t = tick()
    # do some work
    time.sleep(1)
    if k % 2 == 1:
        time.sleep(1)
        t.tock()
    else:
        t.tock()

It is also possible to use ticktock as a context manager to track the timing of a chunk of code:

from ticktock import ticktock

with ticktock():
    time.sleep(1)

Or a decorator, to track the timing of each call to a function:

from ticktock import ticktock

@ticktock
def f():
    time.sleep(1)

f()

    feature request: suspended mode

    Hi,

    I could not find in documentation: is there a way of temporarily shutting off all ticktock calls? This is helpful for switching between debug and production modes.

    Thanks!

  • Suppress line numbers in `tock()`

    Suppress line numbers in `tock()`

    Hello.

    Thanks for your effort on the library, works really nice.

    I would like to polish the output a bit - i.e. suppress the line numbers from the tock event, since In some cases they are redundant. For a :

    @ticktick("aaa")
    def a():
       pass
    

    I want: [aaaa] 1s200 ms and now I have [aaaa:3-5] 1s200 ms

    And for a:

    a_clock = tick(name="train batch")
    a_clock.tock()
    

    I want: [train batch] 100ms and now I get [train batch:11] 100ms

    Rationale: In the annotation case - this is obvious that a method with decorator will just get a single tock() for every tick - and so there is no need to differentiate the times, and hence it would be best if the output shown would just contain the name passed to @ticktock()

    In the manual case - I would say, that this should be user-controlled. I am not sure what the API would be best, but maybe something like tick(single_tock=True) or tock(only=True) that would made the tock() not record any name for the tock and therefore the ouptut might just contain the name passed to tick ?

  • feature request: easier control on renderer

    feature request: easier control on renderer

    Hi,

    I noticed there is no carriage return in the ticktock message, so I wrote the following, but I was wondering if there could be a less verbose way of doing this:

    from ticktock import ticktock
    from ticktock.timer import ClockCollection, set_collection
    from ticktock import renderers
    
    set_collection(
        collection=ClockCollection(renderer=renderers.StandardRenderer(format=renderers.StandardRenderer()._format + '\n')))
    
    
    @ticktock
    def test():
        for aa in range(100_000):
            pass
    
    
    test()
    print('done')
    

    Thanks!

  • Fix name

    Fix name

    This fixes a bug encountered when using ticktock in a REPL with unnamed tick calls.

    In this context, clock.tick_filename does not exist, and name_field_fn fails because tick_name is used before being defined. This was broken recently.

    The first commit adds a test to expose the bug, while the second fixes it.

  • Renderer per clock + fix to decorator and context manager + refacto

    Renderer per clock + fix to decorator and context manager + refacto

    This PR is relatively large, and achieves the following:

    • Add the capability to have different formatting strings for different clocks, which adresses the requests in https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/12 as well as https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/4
    • Simplifies the format string, with a general name field that works in decorators/context managers as one would expect
    • Refactor by splitting ticktock.timer into ticktock.clocks with clocks, ticktock.collection with collection, ticktock.timers for decorator/contextmanager interfaces
    • Refactor by removing largely unused Clock and tick parameters (e.g. tick_time_ns)
    • Make clock identity consistent by never disambiguating clocks on their names
    • Better tests of context manager and function decorator functionality
    • numerous improvements to the documentation

  • More formatting options

    More formatting options

    This PR introduces more formatting options, by enabling the user to choose amongst more keys, for example the tick line, tock line, but also the raw timings.

    This added flexibility adds a bit more constraints: in particular, format strings should also contain the clock name part:

    set_format("⏱️ [{tick_name}-{tock_name}] {mean} ({std} std) min={min} max={max} count={count} last={last}")
    

    There are also a couple of minor refactorizations.

    Default two precision

    This PR fixes https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/6 by adding another level of precision to the times that are shown by the StandardRenderer.

    This can be controlled by setting max_terms on the StandardRenderer, which defaults to 2.

  • Allow to configure the behaviour of StandardRenderer

    Allow to configure the behaviour of StandardRenderer

    Currently we use StandardRenderer with no_update=True and it is used in a process that uses tqdm (keras training loop). The effect is that the first line from ticktock is appended at the end of the line of current tqdm progress. I can see in https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/blob/main/ticktock/std.py#L137 there is a new line appended at the end of ticktock output. We would like to add a new line at the beginning as well. WDYT of either including it be default or allowing to customize it by the client?

Releases(v0.1.0)
  • v0.1.0(Nov 19, 2021)

    This is the first minor release of ticktock. It contains many bug fixes and a major overhaul of the formatting system.

    • The format string now can control the whole output line (including the beginning of the line with the name). Format can be set globally with set_format.
    • Providing a format=... keyword argument to any of the ticktock functions (decorator, context manager, tick/tock) will override the formatting for this clock.
    • Format strings now accept a generic name parameter that takes into account the provided name parameters to ticktock functions, and has a consistent behavior across use cases
    • tick returns a Clock instance, while tock returns the recorded time delta in ns
    • clock disambiguation now exclusively occurs with frame information (also used names previously)
    • Internal modules have been reorganized: ticktock.renderers has been split into ticktock.renderers and ticktock.std , ticktock.timer has been split in ticktock.clocks, ticktock.collection and ticktock.timers
    Source code(tar.gz)
    Source code(zip)
  • v0.0.7(Nov 14, 2021)

    Easier control on formatting: use set_format(format: str, max_terms: int = None, no_update: bool) to set:

    • the format string format
    • the number of displayed units it times max_terms (https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/6)
    • and to turn off ASCII control characters (used to update the previous line) with no_update This was signaled by https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/4.

    Turn on or off the ticktock collection of timings and rendering with enable/disable. (https://github.com/victorbenichoux/ticktock/issues/5)

    Fix a bug in which the carriage return was not returned.

    Improvements to the documentation, some more testing.

    Thanks to all the people who contributed issues!
