in jupyter notebook, I can do
%time print 'hello world'
and it will print out wall time etc.
But I cannot do the same in Visual studio 2019, I am using python 3.8, it complains syntax error
ipython is there
Any idea?

What do you mean "ipython is there"? Just because it is installed doesnt mean you can evaluate cell magic commands from a plain Python script. – OneCricketeer Jan 28 '21 at 21:37

First, `print 'hello world'` is invalid Python3 syntax. Second, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8220801/how-to-use-timeit-module – OneCricketeer Jan 28 '21 at 21:38

New in python, under my virtual environment, iPython is there. So how can someone print out the wall time in VS 2019? I know, it should be print('hello world') – Jason Jan 28 '21 at 21:39

Well, you can use [notebooks in VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support), not sure of VS2019. Otherwise, what you are trying to do is just short-hand for the answer in linked post – OneCricketeer Jan 28 '21 at 21:41
