timeit versus timing decorator

by

Use wrapping from functools to improve Matt Alcock’s answer. 

from functools import wraps
from time import time

def timing(f):
    @wraps(f)
    def wrap(*args, **kw):
        ts = time()
        result = f(*args, **kw)
        te = time()
        print 'func:%r args:[%r, %r] took: %2.4f sec' % \
          (f.__name__, args, kw, te-ts)
        return result
    return wrap

In an example:

@timing
def f(a):
    for _ in range(a):
        i = 0
    return -1

Invoking method f wrapped with @timing:

func:'f' args:[(100000000,), {}] took: 14.2240 sec
f(100000000)

The advantage of this is that it preserves attributes of the original function; that is, metadata like the function name and docstring is correctly preserved on the returned function.
