Using timeit module in a function with arguments

Question

Example from documentation

def test():
    """Stupid test function"""
    L = []
    for i in range(100):
        L.append(i)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import timeit
    print(timeit.timeit("test()", setup="from __main__ import test"))

but how to call a function with parameters, for example, a function like this:

def test(some_object):
    """Stupid test function"""
    L = []
    for i in range(100):
        L.append(some_object)

Answer 1

err, if I get your question right, you're just looking for that?

anobj = 42 # where it can be whatever object
def test(foo):
    pass # do something with foo

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import timeit
    print(timeit.timeit("test(anobj)", setup="from __main__ import test, anobj"))
