Is there a way to get the system time in nopython=True mode? I'm looking for something like Python's time.time() function. I have a function that recursively calls itself, and I'd like to profile the time between every recursive call.

Thanks!

I don't think there is anything available directly (the devs can correct me if I'm wrong). Your best bet may be to use cffi to wrap a call to some external c code:

http://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/0.31.0/reference/pysupported.html#cffi

and then call the appropriate function from time.h, parse it and return it to the python side. This approach may be non-trivial depending on your comfort with C.
