python timeit.timer,Python-类中的Timeit

I'm having some real trouble with timing a function from within an instance of a class. I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way (never used timeIt before) and I tried a few variations of the second argument importing things, but no luck. Here's a silly example of what I'm doing:

import timeit

class TimedClass():

def __init__(self):

self.x = 13

self.y = 15

t = timeit.Timer("self.square(self.x, self.y)")

try:

t.timeit()

except:

t.print_exc()

def square(self, _x, _y):

print _x**_y

myTimedClass = TimedClass()

Which, when ran, complains about self.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "timeItTest.py", line 9, in __init__

t.timeit()

File "C:\Python26\lib\timeit.py", line 193, in timeit

timing = self.inner(it, self.timer)

File "", line 6, in inner

self.square(self.x, self.y)

NameError: global name 'self' is not defined

This has to do with TimeIt creating a little virtual environment to run the function in but what do I have to pass to the second argument to make it all happy?

if you're willing to consider alternatives to timeit, i recently found the stopwatch timer utility which might be useful in your case. it's really simple and intuitive, too:

import stopwatch

class TimedClass():

def __init__(self):

t = stopwatch.Timer()

# do stuff here

t.stop()

print t.elapsed
