计算操作持续时间的最简单方法：

import time

start_time = time.monotonic()

<operations, programs>

print('seconds: ', time.monotonic() - start_time)

这里有官方文件。

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

我参加聚会已经很晚了，但这种方法以前没有涉及过。当我们想要手动对某段代码进行基准测试时，我们可能需要首先找出哪些类方法占用了执行时间，这有时并不明显。我构建了以下元类来解决这个问题：

from __future__ import annotations

from functools import wraps
from time import time
from typing import Any, Callable, TypeVar, cast

F = TypeVar('F', bound=Callable[..., Any])


def timed_method(func: F, prefix: str | None = None) -> F:
    prefix = (prefix + ' ') if prefix else ''

    @wraps(func)
    def inner(*args, **kwargs):  # type: ignore
        start = time()
        try:
            ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
        except BaseException:
            print(f'[ERROR] {prefix}{func.__qualname__}: {time() - start}')
            raise
        
        print(f'{prefix}{func.__qualname__}: {time() - start}')
        return ret

    return cast(F, inner)


class TimedClass(type):
    def __new__(
        cls: type[TimedClass],
        name: str,
        bases: tuple[type[type], ...],
        attrs: dict[str, Any],
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> TimedClass:
        for name, attr in attrs.items():
            if isinstance(attr, (classmethod, staticmethod)):
                attrs[name] = type(attr)(timed_method(attr.__func__))
            elif isinstance(attr, property):
                attrs[name] = property(
                    timed_method(attr.fget, 'get') if attr.fget is not None else None,
                    timed_method(attr.fset, 'set') if attr.fset is not None else None,
                    timed_method(attr.fdel, 'del') if attr.fdel is not None else None,
                )
            elif callable(attr):
                attrs[name] = timed_method(attr)

        return super().__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

它允许如下使用：

class MyClass(metaclass=TimedClass):
    def foo(self): 
        print('foo')
    
    @classmethod
    def bar(cls): 
        print('bar')
    
    @staticmethod
    def baz(): 
        print('baz')
    
    @property
    def prop(self): 
        print('prop')
    
    @prop.setter
    def prop(self, v): 
        print('fset')
    
    @prop.deleter
    def prop(self): 
        print('fdel')


c = MyClass()

c.foo()
c.bar()
c.baz()
c.prop
c.prop = 2
del c.prop

MyClass.bar()
MyClass.baz()

它打印：

foo
MyClass.foo: 1.621246337890625e-05
bar
MyClass.bar: 4.5299530029296875e-06
baz
MyClass.baz: 4.291534423828125e-06
prop
get MyClass.prop: 3.814697265625e-06
fset
set MyClass.prop: 3.5762786865234375e-06
fdel
del MyClass.prop: 3.5762786865234375e-06
bar
MyClass.bar: 3.814697265625e-06
baz
MyClass.baz: 4.0531158447265625e-06

它可以与其他答案相结合，以更精确的方式代替time.time。

使用一个上下文管理器可以很有趣地做到这一点，它可以自动记住进入with块时的开始时间，然后在块退出时冻结结束时间。通过一些小技巧，您甚至可以从同一个上下文管理器函数获得块内的运行时间计数。

核心库没有这个（但可能应该有）。一旦就位，您可以执行以下操作：

with elapsed_timer() as elapsed:
    # some lengthy code
    print( "midpoint at %.2f seconds" % elapsed() )  # time so far
    # other lengthy code

print( "all done at %.2f seconds" % elapsed() )

以下是足以完成此任务的contextmanager代码：

from contextlib import contextmanager
from timeit import default_timer

@contextmanager
def elapsed_timer():
    start = default_timer()
    elapser = lambda: default_timer() - start
    yield lambda: elapser()
    end = default_timer()
    elapser = lambda: end-start

以及一些可运行的演示代码：

import time

with elapsed_timer() as elapsed:
    time.sleep(1)
    print(elapsed())
    time.sleep(2)
    print(elapsed())
    time.sleep(3)

注意，通过设计此函数，elapsed（）的返回值在块退出时被冻结，并且进一步的调用返回相同的持续时间（在这个玩具示例中大约为6秒）。

import time

def getElapsedTime(startTime, units):
    elapsedInSeconds = time.time() - startTime
    if units == 'sec':
        return elapsedInSeconds
    if units == 'min':
        return elapsedInSeconds/60
    if units == 'hour':
        return elapsedInSeconds/(60*60)

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
