I highly recommend ipython and its "timeit" function --much better for this.
One of the methods, the fast one, uses an in-place operation, so timeit won't work. But for cases where timeit does work, yes, it is great.
You need to provide correct setup code. from timeit import Timer t = Timer("a[abs(a) < 0.1] = 0", "import numpy;a=numpy.random.random((2000, 2000))") t.repeat() -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
