Answer 1

The "timeit" answer above that declares divmod to be slower has seriously flawed logic.

Test1 calls operators.

Test2 calls the function divmod, and calling a function has overhead.

A more accurate way to test would be:

import timeit

def moddiv(a,b):
  q= a/b
  r= a%b
  return q,r

a=10
b=3
md=0
dm=0
for i in range(1,10):
  c=a*i
  md+= timeit.timeit( lambda: moddiv(c,b))
  dm+=timeit.timeit( lambda: divmod(c,b))

print("moddiv ", md)
print("divmod ", dm)




moddiv  5.806157339000492

divmod  4.322451676005585

divmod is faster.
