在python3上：

from time import sleep, perf_counter as pc
t0 = pc()
sleep(1)
print(pc()-t0)

优雅而短小。

以下是一个答案，使用：

对代码片段进行计时的简洁上下文管理器time.perf_counter（）计算时间增量。与time.time（）相反，它是不可调整的（sysadmin和守护程序都不能更改其值），因此应该首选它（参见文档）python3.10+（因为键入，但可以很容易地适应以前的版本）

import time
from contextlib import contextmanager
from typing import Iterator

@contextmanager
def time_it() -> Iterator[None]:
    tic: float = time.perf_counter()
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        toc: float = time.perf_counter()
        print(f"Computation time = {1000*(toc - tic):.3f}ms")

如何使用它的示例：

# Example: vector dot product computation
with time_it():
    A = B = range(1000000)
    dot = sum(a*b for a,b in zip(A,B))
# Computation time = 95.353ms

import time

# to check adjustability
assert time.get_clock_info('time').adjustable
assert time.get_clock_info('perf_counter').adjustable is False

这种独特的基于类的方法提供了可打印的字符串表示、可自定义的舍入，以及以字符串或浮点形式方便地访问经过的时间。它是用Python 3.7开发的。

import datetime
import timeit


class Timer:
    """Measure time used."""
    # Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57931660/

    def __init__(self, round_ndigits: int = 0):
        self._round_ndigits = round_ndigits
        self._start_time = timeit.default_timer()

    def __call__(self) -> float:
        return timeit.default_timer() - self._start_time

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        return str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=round(self(), self._round_ndigits)))

用法：

# Setup timer
>>> timer = Timer()

# Access as a string
>>> print(f'Time elapsed is {timer}.')
Time elapsed is 0:00:03.
>>> print(f'Time elapsed is {timer}.')
Time elapsed is 0:00:04.

# Access as a float
>>> timer()
6.841332235
>>> timer()
7.970274425

print_elapsed_time函数如下

def print_elapsed_time(prefix=''):
    e_time = time.time()
    if not hasattr(print_elapsed_time, 's_time'):
        print_elapsed_time.s_time = e_time
    else:
        print(f'{prefix} elapsed time: {e_time - print_elapsed_time.s_time:.2f} sec')
        print_elapsed_time.s_time = e_time

用这种方式

print_elapsed_time()
.... heavy jobs ...
print_elapsed_time('after heavy jobs')
.... tons of jobs ...
print_elapsed_time('after tons of jobs')

结果是

after heavy jobs elapsed time: 0.39 sec
after tons of jobs elapsed time: 0.60 sec  

这个函数的优点和缺点是你不需要经过开始时间

作为lambda，获取经过的时间和时间戳：

import datetime
t_set = lambda: datetime.datetime.now().astimezone().replace(microsecond=0)
t_diff = lambda t: str(t_set() - t)
t_stamp = lambda t=None: str(t) if t else str(t_set())

在实践中：

>>> 
>>> t_set()
datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 21, 1, 25, 17, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(days=-1, seconds=61200), 'PDT'))
>>> t = t_set()
>>> t_diff(t)
'0:00:14'
>>> t_diff(t)
'0:00:23'
>>> t_stamp()
'2021-03-21 01:25:57-07:00'
>>> t_stamp(t)
'2021-03-21 01:25:22-07:00'
>>> 

下面是一个返回“hh:mm:ss”字符串的小型计时器类：

class Timer:
  def __init__(self):
    self.start = time.time()

  def restart(self):
    self.start = time.time()

  def get_time_hhmmss(self):
    end = time.time()
    m, s = divmod(end - self.start, 60)
    h, m = divmod(m, 60)
    time_str = "%02d:%02d:%02d" % (h, m, s)
    return time_str

用法：

# Start timer
my_timer = Timer()

# ... do something

# Get time string:
time_hhmmss = my_timer.get_time_hhmmss()
print("Time elapsed: %s" % time_hhmmss )

# ... use the timer again
my_timer.restart()

# ... do something

# Get time:
time_hhmmss = my_timer.get_time_hhmmss()

# ... etc
