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 of small code snippets, while other profiling tools like cProfile provide more detailed insights into function calls and performance bottlenecks.

What are the advantages of using timeit over cProfile?

Timeit is easier to use for quick tests and requires less setup, making it ideal for micro-benchmarks.

Are there any limitations to using timeit?

Yes, timeit is not suitable for profiling larger applications or for analyzing memory usage, where tools like memory_profiler would be more appropriate.

Can I use timeit for multi-threaded applications?

Timeit can be used for multi-threaded applications, but it may not accurately reflect the performance due to the complexities of thread scheduling.
