只是认为在timedelta方面提到格式化可能是有用的。Strptime()根据格式解析表示时间的字符串。

from datetime import datetime

datetimeFormat = '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%f'    
time1 = '2016/03/16 10:01:28.585'
time2 = '2016/03/16 09:56:28.067'  
time_dif = datetime.strptime(time1, datetimeFormat) - datetime.strptime(time2,datetimeFormat)
print(time_dif)

这将输出: 0:05:00.518000

这就是我如何获得两个datetime之间经过的小时数。datetime对象:

before = datetime.datetime.now()
after  = datetime.datetime.now()
hours  = math.floor(((after - before).seconds) / 3600)

如果a, b是datetime对象，那么在Python 3中查找它们之间的时间差:

from datetime import timedelta

time_difference = a - b
time_difference_in_minutes = time_difference / timedelta(minutes=1)

在早期的Python版本中:

time_difference_in_minutes = time_difference.total_seconds() / 60

如果a, b是天真的datetime对象，例如datetime.now()返回的，那么如果对象表示具有不同UTC偏移量的本地时间，例如DST转换前后或过去/未来日期，则结果可能是错误的。更多细节:查找datetimes之间是否已经过了24小时- Python。

要获得可靠的结果，请使用UTC时间或时区感知的datetime对象。

我利用时差进行了连续集成测试，以检查和完善我的功能。如果有人需要，这里有一些简单的代码

from datetime import datetime

class TimeLogger:
    time_cursor = None

    def pin_time(self):
        global time_cursor
        time_cursor = datetime.now()

    def log(self, text=None) -> float:
        global time_cursor

        if not time_cursor:
            time_cursor = datetime.now()

        now = datetime.now()
        t_delta = now - time_cursor

        seconds = t_delta.total_seconds()

        result = str(now) + ' tl -----------> %.5f' % seconds
        if text:
            result += "   " + text
        print(result)

        self.pin_time()

        return seconds


time_logger = TimeLogger()

使用:

from .tests_time_logger import time_logger
class Tests(TestCase):
    def test_workflow(self):
    time_logger.pin_time()

    ... my functions here ...

    time_logger.log()

    ... other function(s) ...

    time_logger.log(text='Tests finished')

我在log输出中有类似的东西

2019-12-20 17:19:23.635297 tl -----------> 0.00007
2019-12-20 17:19:28.147656 tl -----------> 4.51234   Tests finished

这将给出以秒为单位的差值(然后除以60得到分钟):

import time
import datetime

t_start = datetime.datetime.now()

time.sleep(10)

t_end = datetime.datetime.now()
elapsedTime = (t_end - t_start )

print(elapsedTime.total_seconds())

输出:

10.009222

在我看来，这是最简单的方法，您不需要担心精度或溢出问题。

例如，使用elapsedTime。秒你失去了很多精度(它返回一个整数)。同时,elapsedTime。正如这个答案所指出的，微秒的上限是10^6。因此，例如，对于10秒的sleep()， elapsedTime。微秒给出8325(这是错误的，应该是10,000,000左右)。

以datetime为例

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> then = datetime(2012, 3, 5, 23, 8, 15)        # Random date in the past
>>> now  = datetime.now()                         # Now
>>> duration = now - then                         # For build-in functions
>>> duration_in_s = duration.total_seconds()      # Total number of seconds between dates

持续时间(年)

>>> years = divmod(duration_in_s, 31536000)[0]    # Seconds in a year=365*24*60*60 = 31536000.

持续时间(天)

>>> days  = duration.days                         # Build-in datetime function
>>> days  = divmod(duration_in_s, 86400)[0]       # Seconds in a day = 86400

持续时间(小时)

>>> hours = divmod(duration_in_s, 3600)[0]        # Seconds in an hour = 3600

持续时间(分钟)

>>> minutes = divmod(duration_in_s, 60)[0]        # Seconds in a minute = 60

持续时间(秒)

[!参见本文底部关于使用持续时间以秒为单位的警告

>>> seconds = duration.seconds                    # Build-in datetime function
>>> seconds = duration_in_s

持续时间(微秒)

[!参见本文底部关于使用以微秒为单位的持续时间的警告

>>> microseconds = duration.microseconds          # Build-in datetime function

两个日期之间的总时间

>>> days    = divmod(duration_in_s, 86400)        # Get days (without [0]!)
>>> hours   = divmod(days[1], 3600)               # Use remainder of days to calc hours
>>> minutes = divmod(hours[1], 60)                # Use remainder of hours to calc minutes
>>> seconds = divmod(minutes[1], 1)               # Use remainder of minutes to calc seconds
>>> print("Time between dates: %d days, %d hours, %d minutes and %d seconds" % (days[0], hours[0], minutes[0], seconds[0]))

或者仅仅是:

>>> print(now - then)

编辑2019 由于这个答案已经获得了支持，我将添加一个函数，这可能会简化一些用法

from datetime import datetime

def getDuration(then, now = datetime.now(), interval = "default"):

    # Returns a duration as specified by variable interval
    # Functions, except totalDuration, returns [quotient, remainder]

    duration = now - then # For build-in functions
    duration_in_s = duration.total_seconds() 
    
    def years():
      return divmod(duration_in_s, 31536000) # Seconds in a year=31536000.

    def days(seconds = None):
      return divmod(seconds if seconds != None else duration_in_s, 86400) # Seconds in a day = 86400

    def hours(seconds = None):
      return divmod(seconds if seconds != None else duration_in_s, 3600) # Seconds in an hour = 3600

    def minutes(seconds = None):
      return divmod(seconds if seconds != None else duration_in_s, 60) # Seconds in a minute = 60

    def seconds(seconds = None):
      if seconds != None:
        return divmod(seconds, 1)   
      return duration_in_s

    def totalDuration():
        y = years()
        d = days(y[1]) # Use remainder to calculate next variable
        h = hours(d[1])
        m = minutes(h[1])
        s = seconds(m[1])

        return "Time between dates: {} years, {} days, {} hours, {} minutes and {} seconds".format(int(y[0]), int(d[0]), int(h[0]), int(m[0]), int(s[0]))

    return {
        'years': int(years()[0]),
        'days': int(days()[0]),
        'hours': int(hours()[0]),
        'minutes': int(minutes()[0]),
        'seconds': int(seconds()),
        'default': totalDuration()
    }[interval]

# Example usage
then = datetime(2012, 3, 5, 23, 8, 15)
now = datetime.now()

print(getDuration(then)) # E.g. Time between dates: 7 years, 208 days, 21 hours, 19 minutes and 15 seconds
print(getDuration(then, now, 'years'))      # Prints duration in years
print(getDuration(then, now, 'days'))       #                    days
print(getDuration(then, now, 'hours'))      #                    hours
print(getDuration(then, now, 'minutes'))    #                    minutes
print(getDuration(then, now, 'seconds'))    #                    seconds

警告:关于内置的.seconds和.microseconds的警告 datetime。Seconds和datetime。微秒的上限分别为[0,86400)和[0,10^6)。

如果timedelta大于返回值的最大值，则应该谨慎使用。

例子:

开始后1h, 200μs结束:

>>> start = datetime(2020,12,31,22,0,0,500)
>>> end = datetime(2020,12,31,23,0,0,700)
>>> delta = end - start
>>> delta.microseconds
RESULT: 200
EXPECTED: 3600000200

End在开始后1d和1h:

>>> start = datetime(2020,12,30,22,0,0)
>>> end = datetime(2020,12,31,23,0,0)
>>> delta = end - start
>>> delta.seconds
RESULT: 3600
EXPECTED: 90000
