I've been playing around with the timeit module. And it works fine:

import c4d  
import timeit  
  
def main() :  
  print timeit.timeit('x = 10; y = 100; z = x ** y')  
  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

But I'm having a problem getting it to work with C4D methods:

import c4d  
import timeit  
  
def method1(x,y) :  
  z = zip(x,y)  
  z.sort()  
  return zip(*z)  
  
def main() :  
  
  people = ['Jim', 'Pam', 'Micheal', 'Dwight']  
  ages =   [27, 25, 4, 9]  
  print method1(people, ages)  
  
  t = timeit.Timer(setup='from __main__ import method1', stmt='method1()')  
  
  print t.timeit() #<-----------Error: Cannot import name method1  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

I think this is the part that is wrong: setup='from __main__ import method1'
Anyone know the correct syntax needed here?

I'd guess the script that is executed in the manager is not set as being the __main__ module internally. A workaround might be something like this, but not a quite nice-one.

  
import sys  
import c4d  
import timeit  
  
def method1(x ,y) :  
  z = zip(x, y)  
  z.sort()  
  return zip(*z)  
  
def main() :  
  
  people = ['Jim', 'Pam', 'Micheal', 'Dwight']  
  ages =   [27, 25, 4, 9]  
  print method1(people, ages)  
  
  # create an objects that holds our scope as attributes  
  # and add it to the loaded modules  
  scope = dict(people = people, ages = ages, method1 = lambda self, x, y: method1(x, y))  
  sys.modules['__fakemod__'] = type('', (), scope)()  
  
  # make the timing stuff  
  t = timeit.Timer('method1(people, ages)', 'from __fakemod__ import method1, people, ages')  
  print t.timeit(number = 1000)  
  
  # remove the fake-module  
  del sys.modules['__fakemod__']  
  
main()

Edit: That one might be more scalable.

Thanks Niklas.
That's pretty convoluted stuff just to get it to work. But good stuff to learn from.
