这是获取程序运行时间的最简单方法：

在程序末尾编写以下代码。

import time
print(time.clock())

我在查找两种不同方法的运行时间时遇到的问题，这两种方法用于查找所有<=一个数的素数。当在程序中进行用户输入时。

错误的方法

#Sample input for a number 20 
#Sample output [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19]
#Total Running time = 0.634 seconds

import time

start_time = time.time()

#Method 1 to find all the prime numbers <= a Number

# Function to check whether a number is prime or not.
def prime_no(num):
if num<2:
    return False
else:
    for i in range(2, num//2+1):
        if num % i == 0:
            return False
    return True

#To print all the values <= n
def Prime_under_num(n):
    a = [2]
    if n <2:
        print("None")
    elif n==2:
        print(2)
    else:
"Neglecting all even numbers as even numbers won't be prime in order to reduce the time complexity."
        for i in range(3, n+1, 2):   
            if prime_no(i):
                a.append(i)
        print(a)


"When Method 1 is only used outputs of running time for different inputs"
#Total Running time = 2.73761 seconds #n = 100
#Total Running time = 3.14781 seconds #n = 1000
#Total Running time = 8.69278 seconds #n = 10000
#Total Running time = 18.73701 seconds #n = 100000

#Method 2 to find all the prime numbers <= a Number

def Prime_under_num(n):
    a = [2]
    if n <2:
        print("None")
    elif n==2:
        print(2)
    else:
        for i in range(3, n+1, 2):   
            if n%i ==0:
                pass
            else:
                a.append(i)
        print(a)

"When Method 2 is only used outputs of running time for different inputs"
# Total Running time = 2.75935 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 2.86332 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 4.59884 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 8.55057 seconds #n = 100000

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    n = int(input())
    Prime_under_num(n)
    print("Total Running time = {:.5f} seconds".format(time.time() - start_time))

上述所有情况下获得的不同运行时间都是错误的。对于我们正在接受输入的问题，我们必须在接受输入后才开始计时。这里，用户键入输入所花费的时间也与运行时间一起计算。

正确的方法

我们必须从开头删除start_time=time.time（）并将其添加到主块中。

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    n = int(input())
    start_time = time.time()
    Prime_under_num(n)
    print("Total Running time = {:.3f} seconds".format(time.time() - start_time))

因此，两种方法单独使用时的输出如下：-

# Method 1

# Total Running time = 0.00159 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 0.00506 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 0.22987 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 18.55819 seconds #n = 100000

# Method 2

# Total Running time = 0.00011 seconds #n = 100
# Total Running time = 0.00118 seconds #n = 1000
# Total Running time = 0.00302 seconds #n = 10000
# Total Running time = 0.01450 seconds #n = 100000

现在我们可以看到，与错误方法相比，总运行时间有显著差异。即使方法2在两种方法中的性能优于方法1，但第一种方法（错误方法）是错误的。

我尝试使用以下脚本找到时间差。

import time

start_time = time.perf_counter()
[main code here]
print (time.perf_counter() - start_time, "seconds")

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。

只需使用timeit模块。它同时适用于Python 2和Python 3。

import timeit

start = timeit.default_timer()

# All the program statements
stop = timeit.default_timer()
execution_time = stop - start

print("Program Executed in "+str(execution_time)) # It returns time in seconds

它在几秒钟内返回，您可以获得执行时间。这很简单，但您应该在启动程序执行的主函数中编写这些。如果您想获得执行时间，即使在出现错误时，也可以将参数“Start”设置为它，并在那里进行如下计算：

def sample_function(start,**kwargs):
     try:
         # Your statements
     except:
         # except statements run when your statements raise an exception
         stop = timeit.default_timer()
         execution_time = stop - start
         print("Program executed in " + str(execution_time))

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
