How does the timeit module compare to other timing methods in Python?

What are the advantages of using the timeit module in Python?

The timeit module is designed for timing small code snippets accurately, minimizing overhead and providing reliable results.

How does it compare to using manual timing with time.time()?

Using time.time() can be less accurate due to overhead from function calls. timeit automates this and runs multiple iterations.

Are there any other methods I should consider for performance testing?

Yes, you might also consider using cProfile for profiling larger applications or line_profiler for line-by-line analysis.

Can I use timeit for benchmarking larger code blocks?

While timeit is best for small snippets, you can still use it for larger blocks by wrapping them in functions.
