timeMethod¶

lsst.utils.timer.timeMethod(_func: Optional[Any] = None, *, metadata: Optional[MutableMapping] = None, logger: Optional[Logger] = None, logLevel: int = 10) → Callable¶

Measure duration of a method.

Parameters:

func: The method to wrap.
metadatacollections.abc.MutableMapping, optional: Metadata to use as override if the instance object attached to this timer does not support a metadata property.
loggerlogging.Logger, optional: Logger to use when the class containing the decorated method does not have a log property.
logLevelint, optional: Log level to use when logging messages. Default is DEBUG.

Notes

Writes various measures of time and possibly memory usage to the metadata; all items are prefixed with the function name.

Warning

This decorator only works with instance methods of any class with these attributes:

metadata: an instance of collections.abc.Mapping. The add method will be used if available, else entries will be added to a list.
log: an instance of logging.Logger or subclass.

Examples

To use:

import lsst.utils as utils
import lsst.pipe.base as pipeBase
class FooTask(pipeBase.Task):
    pass

    @utils.timeMethod
    def run(self, ...): # or any other instance method you want to time
        pass
