I'm having trouble with this code which is meant to run a time
comparison between two similar functions. The first module is
makezeros.py
def lots_of_appends():
zeros = []
for i in range(10000):
zeros.append(0)
def one_multiply():
zeros = [0] * 10000
The second module is timings.py.
import time, makezeros
def do_timing(num_times, *funcs):
totals = {}
for func in funcs: totals[func] = 0.0
for x in range(num_times):
for func in funcs:
starttime = time.time()
apply(func)
stoptime = time.time()
elapsed = stoptime-starttime
totals[func] = totals[func] + elapsed
for func in funcs:
print "Running %s %d times took %.3f seconds" %
(func.__name__, num_times, totals[func])
do_timing(100, (makezeros.lots_of_appends, makezeros.one_multiply))
Here's the outcome I get:
$ python ./Python/timings.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./Python/timings.py", line 17, in ?
do_timing(100, (lots_of_appends, one_multiply))
File "./Python/timings.py", line 10, in do_timing
apply(func)
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable
BTW, the code is taken straight out of Learning Python, but I've
been banging my head on it for awhile. Any ideas??
