Dear Spyder developers, I am a very satisfied user of the Spyder IDE. It looks great and works even better. I use it for all my larger Python assignments and projects. I also greatly enjoy the embedded profiler and pylint. Really superb!
I would however like to propose one minor modification which would greatly simplify testing for run-times. Currently the "show elapsed time" gives us the time since a Python interpreter was started. If I run a script with Spyder I need to remember at which time I pressed F5 and I need to be there when the script finishes to know the exact amount of time it took to run the entire script. I would like to see the "show elapsed time" option modified such that it works like a stopwatch: start from t = 0 when F5 is pressed and hold the timer fixed when a script has finished running. I know there exist a number of ways to achieve this without modifying the Spyder IDE (use a Python timing function, or use a bash timing function), however I consider this to be a nicer way to achieve it. If there any reasons to reject this proposal I would gladly like to know why and discuss it if possible.
