以下代码段以可读的<HH:MM:SS>格式打印经过的时间。

import time
from datetime import timedelta

start_time = time.time()

#
# Perform lots of computations.
#

elapsed_time_secs = time.time() - start_time

msg = "Execution took: %s secs (Wall clock time)" % timedelta(seconds=round(elapsed_time_secs))

print(msg)    

对于函数，我建议使用我创建的这个简单的修饰符。

def timeit(method):
    def timed(*args, **kwargs):
        ts = time.time()
        result = method(*args, **kwargs)
        te = time.time()
        if 'log_time' in kwargs:
            name = kwargs.get('log_name', method.__name__.upper())
            kwargs['log_time'][name] = int((te - ts) * 1000)
        else:
            print('%r  %2.22f ms' % (method.__name__, (te - ts) * 1000))
        return result
    return timed

@timeit
def foo():
    do_some_work()

# foo()
# 'foo'  0.000953 ms

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 ---

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))

以下代码段以可读的<HH:MM:SS>格式打印经过的时间。

import time
from datetime import timedelta

start_time = time.time()

#
# Perform lots of computations.
#

elapsed_time_secs = time.time() - start_time

msg = "Execution took: %s secs (Wall clock time)" % timedelta(seconds=round(elapsed_time_secs))

print(msg)    

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")
