根据这个答案，创建了一个简单但方便的工具。

import time
from datetime import timedelta

def start_time_measure(message=None):
    if message:
        print(message)
    return time.monotonic()

def end_time_measure(start_time, print_prefix=None):
    end_time = time.monotonic()
    if print_prefix:
        print(print_prefix + str(timedelta(seconds=end_time - start_time)))
    return end_time

用法：

total_start_time = start_time_measure()    
start_time = start_time_measure('Doing something...')
# Do something
end_time_measure(start_time, 'Done in: ')
start_time = start_time_measure('Doing something else...')
# Do something else
end_time_measure(start_time, 'Done in: ')
end_time_measure(total_start_time, 'Total time: ')

输出：

Doing something...
Done in: 0:00:01.218000
Doing something else...
Done in: 0:00:01.313000
Total time: 0:00:02.672000

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")

我喜欢datetime模块提供的输出，其中时间增量对象以人类可读的方式显示天、小时、分钟等。

例如：

from datetime import datetime
start_time = datetime.now()
# do your work here
end_time = datetime.now()
print('Duration: {}'.format(end_time - start_time))

样本输出，例如。

Duration: 0:00:08.309267

or

Duration: 1 day, 1:51:24.269711

正如J.F.Sebastian所提到的，这种方法在当地时间可能会遇到一些棘手的情况，因此使用更安全：

import time
from datetime import timedelta
start_time = time.monotonic()
end_time = time.monotonic()
print(timedelta(seconds=end_time - start_time))

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”

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。

我定义了以下Python装饰器：

def profile(fct):
  def wrapper(*args, **kw):
    start_time = time.time()
    ret = fct(*args, **kw)
    print("{} {} {} return {} in {} seconds".format(args[0].__class__.__name__,
                                                    args[0].__class__.__module__,
                                                    fct.__name__,
                                                    ret,
                                                    time.time() - start_time))
    return ret
  return wrapper

并将其用于函数或类/方法：

@profile
def main()
   ...
