*Sometimes*.
>>> import inspect
>>> def func():
... return 1
...
>>> inspect.getsource(func)
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
OSError: could not get source code
I have been using a variant of this for years now:
https://code.activestate.com/recipes/577896-benchmark-code-with-the-with-statement/
It's not suitable for timing microbenchmarks, since the overhead of the
with statement could be greater than the code you are timing, but
sometimes you want a quick time measurement for something, and this is
much better than
import time
t = time.time()
# run code here
t = time.time() - t
*especially* when you're typing code in the interactive interpreter.
