这是保罗·麦奎尔的回答，对我来说很有用。以防有人在运行这个问题时遇到问题。

import atexit
from time import clock

def reduce(function, iterable, initializer=None):
    it = iter(iterable)
    if initializer is None:
        value = next(it)
    else:
        value = initializer
    for element in it:
        value = function(value, element)
    return value

def secondsToStr(t):
    return "%d:%02d:%02d.%03d" % \
        reduce(lambda ll,b : divmod(ll[0],b) + ll[1:],
            [(t*1000,),1000,60,60])

line = "="*40
def log(s, elapsed=None):
    print (line)
    print (secondsToStr(clock()), '-', s)
    if elapsed:
        print ("Elapsed time:", elapsed)
    print (line)

def endlog():
    end = clock()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", secondsToStr(elapsed))

def now():
    return secondsToStr(clock())

def main():
    start = clock()
    atexit.register(endlog)
    log("Start Program")

导入文件后，从程序中调用timing.main（）。

我很喜欢保罗·麦奎尔的答案，但我使用的是Python 3。因此，对于感兴趣的人来说：这里是他在*nix上使用Python 3的答案的修改（我想，在Windows下，应该使用clock（）而不是time（））：

#python3
import atexit
from time import time, strftime, localtime
from datetime import timedelta

def secondsToStr(elapsed=None):
    if elapsed is None:
        return strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime())
    else:
        return str(timedelta(seconds=elapsed))

def log(s, elapsed=None):
    line = "="*40
    print(line)
    print(secondsToStr(), '-', s)
    if elapsed:
        print("Elapsed time:", elapsed)
    print(line)
    print()

def endlog():
    end = time()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", secondsToStr(elapsed))

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

如果你觉得这很有用，你仍然应该投票给他的答案，而不是这一个，因为他做了大部分工作；）。

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

我也喜欢Paul McGuire的回答，并提出了一个更符合我需求的上下文管理器表单。

import datetime as dt
import timeit

class TimingManager(object):
    """Context Manager used with the statement 'with' to time some execution.

    Example:

    with TimingManager() as t:
       # Code to time
    """

    clock = timeit.default_timer

    def __enter__(self):
        """
        """
        self.start = self.clock()
        self.log('\n=> Start Timing: {}')

        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        """
        """
        self.endlog()

        return False

    def log(self, s, elapsed=None):
        """Log current time and elapsed time if present.
        :param s: Text to display, use '{}' to format the text with
            the current time.
        :param elapsed: Elapsed time to display. Dafault: None, no display.
        """
        print s.format(self._secondsToStr(self.clock()))

        if(elapsed is not None):
            print 'Elapsed time: {}\n'.format(elapsed)

    def endlog(self):
        """Log time for the end of execution with elapsed time.
        """
        self.log('=> End Timing: {}', self.now())

    def now(self):
        """Return current elapsed time as hh:mm:ss string.
        :return: String.
        """
        return str(dt.timedelta(seconds = self.clock() - self.start))

    def _secondsToStr(self, sec):
        """Convert timestamp to h:mm:ss string.
        :param sec: Timestamp.
        """
        return str(dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(sec))

time.clock在Python 3.3中已被弃用，并将从Python 3.8中删除：请改用time.perf_counter或time.prrocess_time

import time
start_time = time.perf_counter ()
for x in range(1, 100):
    print(x)
end_time = time.perf_counter ()
print(end_time - start_time, "seconds")

我使用来自ttictoc的tic和toc。

pip install ttictoc

然后可以在脚本中使用：

from ttictoc import tic,toc
tic()

# foo()

print(toc())
