Measuring time of execution using multi thread in python

Question

from flask import Flask
from flask import request
import threading
import time
from pymongo import MongoClient
import gridfs
bridgeVideoDatabase = MongoClient().bridgeVideoDatabase
fs = gridfs.GridFS(bridgeVideoDatabase)

app = Flask(__name__)

host = '10.0.0.23'
port = 8080

client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/')
db = client.bridgeUserInformationTable



@app.route('/sendUserStringIntData',methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def getDataFromAndroid():      
    print "Entire Data:",request.form
    UserName = request.form['UserName']
    print UserName
    #insertion
    db.bridgeUsersInfo.insert({"UserName":UserName})
    #display in console
    cursor = db.bridgeUsersInfo.find()
    for document in cursor:
        print(document)
    Thread1 = threading.Thread(target=getDataFromAndroid)

    t=time.time()

    Thread1.start()
    Thread1.join()
    print'Total time for execution :',time.time()-t,'msec'
    return "User Info Saved successfully in Database :-)"


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(
        host=host, port=port
        )

Above is the script for measuring time for saving data to database using python and inputing from andoid updated. While running the same it is hosting but after saving text it giving error below

How it should be resolved ?

This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that needed
an active HTTP request.  Consult the documentation on testing for
information about how to avoid this problem.

therading

threading.Thread(group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={})

args is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ()

t_args = (1)
assert type(t_args) is tuple, "except tuple, get {0}".format(type(t_args))
>>> AssertionError: except tuple, get <class 'int'>

t_args = (request,)
print type(t_args)
>>> <class 'tuple'>

t= threading.Thread(target=getDataFromAndroid, args=t_args)

tuple args =() / list args =[]
here you can also use partial from functools to call with args

class threading.Timer(interval, function, args=[], kwargs={})
threading.Timer(1, partial(your_method, your_arg_a, your_arg_b)).start()

there is a built-in module called timeit ,

This module provides a simple way to time small bits of Python code. It has both a Command-Line Interface as well as a callable one. It avoids a number of common traps for measuring execution times

import timeit
....
start = timeit.default_timer()
t.start()
t.join()
print timit.default_timer - start
