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”

我将这个timing.py模块放入我自己的站点包目录中，并在模块顶部插入导入计时：

import atexit
from time import clock

def secondsToStr(t):
    return "%d:%02d:%02d.%03d" % \
        reduce(lambda ll,b : divmod(ll[0],b) + ll[1:],
            [(t*1000,),1000,60,60])

line = "="*40
def log(s, elapsed=None):
    print line
    print secondsToStr(clock()), '-', s
    if elapsed:
        print "Elapsed time:", elapsed
    print line
    print

def endlog():
    end = clock()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", secondsToStr(elapsed))

def now():
    return secondsToStr(clock())

start = clock()
atexit.register(endlog)
log("Start Program")

如果程序中有重要的阶段，我也可以在程序中调用timing.log。但仅包括导入计时就可以打印开始和结束时间，以及总运行时间。（请原谅我晦涩难懂的secondsToStr函数，它只是将浮点秒数设置为hh:mm:ss.sss格式。）

注意：上述代码的Python3版本可以在这里找到。

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)    

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”

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

要使用metakermit对Python 2.7的更新答案，您需要单调包。

代码如下：

from datetime import timedelta
from monotonic import monotonic

start_time = monotonic()
end_time = monotonic()
print(timedelta(seconds=end_time - start_time))
