import time

start_time = time.clock()
main()
print(time.clock() - start_time, "seconds")

time.clock（）返回处理器时间，它允许我们仅计算此进程使用的时间（无论如何，在Unix上）。文档中说“无论如何，这是用于Python基准测试或计时算法的函数”

我尝试使用以下脚本找到时间差。

import time

start_time = time.perf_counter()
[main code here]
print (time.perf_counter() - start_time, "seconds")

如果您想以微秒为单位测量时间，那么可以使用以下版本，完全基于Paul McGuire和Nicojo的答案——这是Python 3代码。我还为它添加了一些颜色：

import atexit
from time import time
from datetime import timedelta, datetime


def seconds_to_str(elapsed=None):
    if elapsed is None:
        return datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
    else:
        return str(timedelta(seconds=elapsed))


def log(txt, elapsed=None):
    colour_cyan = '\033[36m'
    colour_reset = '\033[0;0;39m'
    colour_red = '\033[31m'
    print('\n ' + colour_cyan + '  [TIMING]> [' + seconds_to_str() + '] ----> ' + txt + '\n' + colour_reset)
    if elapsed:
        print("\n " + colour_red + " [TIMING]> Elapsed time ==> " + elapsed + "\n" + colour_reset)


def end_log():
    end = time()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", seconds_to_str(elapsed))


start = time()
atexit.register(end_log)
log("Start Program")

log（）=>打印定时信息的函数。

txt==>要记录的第一个参数及其用于标记计时的字符串。

atexit==>Python模块，用于注册程序退出时可以调用的函数。

在Linux或Unix中：

$ time python yourprogram.py

在Windows中，请参阅StackOverflow问题：如何在Windows命令行上测量命令的执行时间？

对于更详细的输出，

$ time -v python yourprogram.py

Python中最简单的方法：

import time
start_time = time.time()
main()
print("--- %s seconds ---" % (time.time() - start_time))

这假设程序运行至少需要十分之一秒。

打印：

--- 0.764891862869 seconds ---

这是获取程序运行时间的最简单方法：

在程序末尾编写以下代码。

import time
print(time.clock())
