Use timing module to automate timing of a function that operates on a series of dfs. timing.timed accepts a closure. Refer to sample.py for a good example of how to use timing.timed with a closure.

typical usage: ./env.sh "<file.py> <ds dir> <number of ds (limit)> <random order>" Limit and Rand are optional. Use - to not pass arg. example: ./env.sh "sample.py datasets - True"

refer to cli.py for an explanation of how to grab arguments from the cli

Run as ./env.sh "basic_metadata.py /user/hm74/NYCOpenData 30 print"

Make sure you remove files named "average_time_record", "master_dct_0.json","master_itemset.json" and "run_time_record" from your running directory if running the code for the second time.
