I've written a django command and want to see it's timing so inside django shell_plus
I do this:
import timeit
from django.core.management import call_command
timeit.timeit("""call_command('prova')""", number=3 )
The command should run 3 times and output its running time.
If run directly 'call_command' it works, if called inside timeit it throw this error:
/usr/lib/python3.5/timeit.py in timeit(self, number)
176 gc.disable()
177 try:
--> 178 timing = self.inner(it, self.timer)
179 finally:
180 if gcold:
/usr/lib/python3.5/timeit.py in inner(_it, _timer)
NameError: name 'call_command' is not defined
timeit
always runs within a new execution context, it doesn't have access to anything you previously imported. You need to pass a separate parameter with setup code:
timeit.timeit("call_command('prova')", number=3, setup='from django.core.management import call_command' )
See the timeit docs.
