Simple way to measure cell execution time in ipython notebook

Question

I would like to get the time spent on the cell execution in addition to the original output from cell.

To this end, I tried %%timeit -r1 -n1 but it does

Answer 1

Sometimes the formatting is different in a cell when using print(res), but jupyter/ipython comes with a display. See an example of the formatting difference using pandas below.

%%time
import pandas as pd 
from IPython.display import display

df = pd.DataFrame({"col0":{"a":0,"b":0}
              ,"col1":{"a":1,"b":1}
              ,"col2":{"a":2,"b":2}
             })

#compare the following
print(df)
display(df)

The display statement can preserve the formatting.
