[Numpy-discussion] best way of counting time and cputime?

[bernhard.voigt at gmail.com]

It depends on what you're aiming at. If you want to compare different
implementations of some expressions and need to know their average
execution times you should use the timeit module. If you want to have
the full execution time of a script, time.time (call at the begin and
end, compute the difference, gives the elapsed time) and time.clock
(under linux the cpu clock time used by the process) are the methods
you want.

Cheers! Bernhard
