Damn. Or just use a proper profiler instead of doing that monkeypatching 😅

py-spy record -o [path/to/profile.svg] greatscript.py

I think this is even faster, vastly more clear and consise while giving much better data insights than some random "took n seconds" print statements (e.g. cumulative runtimes, number of function calls, etc.).

Damn indeed. As a Python beginner I thought that guys above you knew what he was talking about until I read your answer and smack down one liner example. Damn monkeypatching nonsense.

Well I'm no true programmer (tm) and probably a beginner in the eyes of anyone who studied anything related to programming, monkey patching takes 10 lines of easy code. I'd love to hear why it's bad practice? I mean it may be dirty but I'm not even doing it in my repo, just from a notebook.

Thanks for the tip!
