How does timeit compare to other profiling tools?

How does timeit compare to other profiling tools?

Timeit is a simple and effective tool for measuring execution time, but it lacks some features of more advanced profilers.

What are some advanced features that other profilers offer?

Other profilers, like cProfile, provide detailed reports on function calls, memory usage, and can visualize performance bottlenecks.

Is timeit suitable for large applications?

Timeit is best for small code snippets. For larger applications, consider using cProfile or Py-Spy for more comprehensive insights.

Can I use timeit in a production environment?

While you can use timeit in production, it's primarily for development and testing. For production, use profiling tools that minimize overhead.
