I've always used Python's timeit library to time my little Python programs.
Now I'm developing a Django app and I was wondering how to time my Django functions, especially queries.
For example, I have a def index(request) in my views.py which does a bunch of stuff when I load the index page.
How can I use timeit to time this particular function without altering too much my existing functions?
Answer
if your django project is in debug, you can see your database queries (and times) using:
>>> from django.db import connection
>>> connection.queries
I know this won't satisfy your need to profile functions, but hope it helps for the queries part!
