Run unit-testing and time all procedures

pytest --durations=0

Profiling of unittests

$ python -m cProfile -o profile $(which py.test)

$ python -m cProfile -o profile $(which py.test) tests/script.py::particular_module

Afterwards, in python

import pstats
import sys

with open('readable_format.txt', 'w') as stream:
    stats = pstats.Stats('profile', stream=stream)
    stats.print_stats()

Test only a particular module (with printouts)

pytest --capture=sys script.py::particular_module

Timing parts of a program

import logging
import time

time_array,chunk_description = list(), list()

time_array.append(time.time())
...
time_array.append(time.time())
chunk_description.append('DimMpMkUser')
...
for i in range(len(chunk_description)):
    if time_array[i+1]-time_array[i]>1.0:
        logging.warning(chunk_description[i])
        logging.warning('Time needed: {}'
            .format(time_array[i+1]-time_array[i]))
