MiniBench provides a simple framework for benchmarking following the unittest module pattern.

minibench requires Python 2.7+.

You can install minibench with pip:

$ pip install minibench

or with easy_install:

$ easy_install minibench

Write your benchmarks as you would write you unittests. Just create a .bench.py file.

# fake.bench.py
from minibench import Benchmark

class FakeBenchmark(Benchmark):
    '''Fake benchmark'''
    def bench_fake(self):
        '''Run my bench'''
        # Do something

Then run it with the bench command

$ bench
>>> Fake benchmark (x5)
Run my bench ......................................... ✔ (0.1234s)
