How can I test the performance of my Python application?

How can I test the performance of my Python application?

You can use tools like timeit, cProfile, or third-party libraries like pytest-benchmark to measure performance.

What is the difference between timeit and cProfile?

timeit is great for timing small code snippets, while cProfile provides a detailed report on function calls and execution time.

Can you give me an example of using timeit?

Sure! You can use it like this: import timeit; timeit.timeit('your_code()', number=1000) to measure execution time.

Are there any best practices for performance testing in Python?

Yes, always test in an environment similar to production, isolate tests, and avoid using print statements for timing.
