测量时间（秒）：

from timeit import default_timer as timer
from datetime import timedelta

start = timer()

# ....
# (your code runs here)
# ...

end = timer()
print(timedelta(seconds=end-start))

输出：

0:00:01.946339

给定要计时的函数，

测试.py：

def foo(): 
    # print "hello"   
    return "hello"

使用timeit的最简单方法是从命令行调用它：

% python -mtimeit -s'import test' 'test.foo()'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.254 usec per loop

不要尝试使用time.time或time.clock（天真地）来比较函数的速度。他们会给出误导性的结果。

PS.不要将打印语句放在您希望计时的函数中；否则测量的时间将取决于终端的速度。

基于https://stackoverflow.com/a/30024601/5095636，以下为无lambda版本，如flake8根据E731对lambda使用的警告：

from contextlib import contextmanager
from timeit import default_timer

@contextmanager
def elapsed_timer():
    start_time = default_timer()

    class _Timer():
      start = start_time
      end = default_timer()
      duration = end - start

    yield _Timer

    end_time = default_timer()
    _Timer.end = end_time
    _Timer.duration = end_time - start_time

测试：

from time import sleep

with elapsed_timer() as t:
    print("start:", t.start)
    sleep(1)
    print("end:", t.end)

t.start
t.end
t.duration

下面是一个返回“hh:mm:ss”字符串的小型计时器类：

class Timer:
  def __init__(self):
    self.start = time.time()

  def restart(self):
    self.start = time.time()

  def get_time_hhmmss(self):
    end = time.time()
    m, s = divmod(end - self.start, 60)
    h, m = divmod(m, 60)
    time_str = "%02d:%02d:%02d" % (h, m, s)
    return time_str

用法：

# Start timer
my_timer = Timer()

# ... do something

# Get time string:
time_hhmmss = my_timer.get_time_hhmmss()
print("Time elapsed: %s" % time_hhmmss )

# ... use the timer again
my_timer.restart()

# ... do something

# Get time:
time_hhmmss = my_timer.get_time_hhmmss()

# ... etc

这种独特的基于类的方法提供了可打印的字符串表示、可自定义的舍入，以及以字符串或浮点形式方便地访问经过的时间。它是用Python 3.7开发的。

import datetime
import timeit


class Timer:
    """Measure time used."""
    # Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57931660/

    def __init__(self, round_ndigits: int = 0):
        self._round_ndigits = round_ndigits
        self._start_time = timeit.default_timer()

    def __call__(self) -> float:
        return timeit.default_timer() - self._start_time

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        return str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=round(self(), self._round_ndigits)))

用法：

# Setup timer
>>> timer = Timer()

# Access as a string
>>> print(f'Time elapsed is {timer}.')
Time elapsed is 0:00:03.
>>> print(f'Time elapsed is {timer}.')
Time elapsed is 0:00:04.

# Access as a float
>>> timer()
6.841332235
>>> timer()
7.970274425

除了ipython中的%timeit之外，您还可以使用%%timeit进行多行代码片段：

In [1]: %%timeit
   ...: complex_func()
   ...: 2 + 2 == 5
   ...:
   ...:

1 s ± 1.93 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

同样，它也可以以同样的方式在jupyter笔记本中使用，只需将magic%%timeit放在单元格的开头。
