Django snippets: Create breakpoints to time code at

# By Ed and Rudy Menendez
import time
class Timer(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.bot = self.last_time = time.time()
        print u'Starting timer at %s' % self.last_time

    def tick(self, msg='Timer'):
        x = time.time()
        print '%s: Since inception %.3f, since last call %.3f' % (msg, x-self.bot, x - self.last_time)
        self.last_time = x

Include in your code like this:

t=Timer()

Then use it like this:

t.tick('Some optional description')

It will output the time spent between the tick and the previous tick (or inception) and the total time spent since it began tracking time. Can be placed multiple times in a long segment of code. Can be used to break out the amount of time being spent on various parts of your code so you can focus on optimizing those sections.
