What is Python benchmarking and how do I do it?

Python benchmarking is the process of measuring the performance of your Python code. It helps you identify bottlenecks and optimize your code.

What tools can I use for benchmarking in Python?

You can use tools like timeit, cProfile, and line_profiler for benchmarking your Python code.

Can you give me an example of using timeit?

Sure! You can use timeit like this: timeit.timeit('your_function()', number=1000) to measure how long it takes to run your function 1000 times.

How do I interpret the results from timeit?

The result from timeit is the total time taken to execute the code snippet. You can divide it by the number of executions to get the average time per execution.
