Capture the result of an IPython magic function

Question

I\'m trying to capture the resulting object of IPython Notebook magic function. Specifically %timeit

So the following code...

import tim         


        

Answer 1

An example of consuming the TimeItResult output:

myarray = (3,2,1)
sorttime = %timeit -n1 -r3 -o myarray.sort() 
print(sorttime.best)

Look here for the other TimeItResult attributes: https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/api/generated/IPython.core.magics.execution.html
