I am trying to time a function's execution, but I get 'TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable' when I try to run it.
I suspect it is my calling of 'timeloop' with the function name 'lookup' and its associated variables or it could just be some stupid error on my part. function 'lookups' was working OK Any help will be appreciated. Thanks - Richard ===The offending Code ===== #!/usr/bin/python def timeloop(dofunction,iters=10): import datetime print "->-> Start of test", "LOOPS=", iters, datetime.datetime.now().ctime() for x in xrange(iters): print x dofunction() print "<-<- End of test", "LOOPS=", iters, datetime.datetime.now().ctime() def lookup(recs,patterns): matchcount = 0 pattcount = 0 for patt in patterns: if matchcount < pattcount: break pattcount += 1 for rec in recs: # print "PATT:", patt, " REC:", rec, " PATTCOUNT=", pattcount if patt in rec: matchcount +=1 break # print"MATCHCOUNT=",matchcount, "PATTCOUNT=", pattcount if matchcount == pattcount: return True else: return False myrecs = ['This is a title for Brian', 'this is detail one for brian', 'this is detail two for brian', 'this is another detail one for brian'] test1 = ['one', 'nomatch'] test2 = ['one', 'two'] test3 = ['title', 'two', 'nomatcheither'] mypatts = test1 timeloop(lookup(myrecs,mypatts), 10) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
