Python 3.7.3 : Testing the timeit and Bokeh python module.

The tutorial today has several goals:

• testing the timeit function to measure the execution time of a line of print code;
• using python lists to record data;
• generate lists using the range function;
• multiplying a number with an entire list of numbers;
• how to use the bokeh module with CustomJSHover and HoverTool

Let's test with the timeit python module, see the official webpage.
This module provides a simple way to time small bits of Python code. It has both a Command-Line Interface as well as a callable one. It avoids a number of common traps for measuring execution times.

Let make more visible the results with the bokeh python module:

import timeit
import random

# if you want to use numpy 
#import numpy as np

# import bokeh python module 
from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_file
# for show values
from bokeh.models.tools import CustomJSHover
from bokeh.models import HoverTool
print ('''
You can tests a number of times named l
with a number of print named i
and see the result value with bokeh python module
timeit.timeit('print("a")',number = i)
''')
i = int(input('The increment number i:'))
l = int(input('The number of test l:'))

# create the list with the output values
timit_list = []
# create the test function for l and i and return the list
def get_timeit(i,l):
 while i < l:
  i += 1
  out=timeit.timeit('print("a")',number = i)
  timit_list.append(out)
 return timit_list

# run the test function with l and i
# this will be coordinate y
yt=get_timeit(i,l)

# show result of the test 
print(yt)

# create the coordinate x
xt = [i for i in range(0, len(yt))]

#xt = np.linspace(0, l, l)
# print the coordinate x
#print(xt)

# create the output HTML file to see the result
output_file("test.html")

# create a figure with a timeit type y-axis
fig = figure(title='timit_list values for print("a")',
             plot_height=400, plot_width=700,
             x_axis_label='x has each incrementation of i', y_axis_label='value of timeit of print the char a',
             x_minor_ticks=3, 
             toolbar_location=None)

# create a circle for each value

# see new multiplication with a list 

# y=[i * 100 for i in yt]
fig.circle(x=xt, y=[i * 100 for i in yt], 
         color='blue', size=5,
         legend='Values')

x_custom = CustomJSHover(code="""
    return '' + special_vars.data_x""")

y_custom = CustomJSHover(code="""
    return '' + special_vars.data_y""")

fig.add_tools(
    HoverTool(
        show_arrow=True, 
        tooltips=[
 ('xt', '$data_x'),
 ('yt', '$data_y')
        ],
        formatters=dict(
            xt=x_custom,
            yt=y_custom
        )
    )
)

# Put the legend in the upper left corner
fig.legend.location = 'top_left'

# Let's check it out
show(fig)
