这是保罗·麦奎尔的回答，对我来说很有用。以防有人在运行这个问题时遇到问题。

import atexit
from time import clock

def reduce(function, iterable, initializer=None):
    it = iter(iterable)
    if initializer is None:
        value = next(it)
    else:
        value = initializer
    for element in it:
        value = function(value, element)
    return value

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)

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

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

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

导入文件后，从程序中调用timing.main（）。

在IPython中，“timeit”任何脚本：

def foo():
    %run bar.py
timeit foo()

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。

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))

如果您想以微秒为单位测量时间，那么可以使用以下版本，完全基于Paul McGuire和Nicojo的答案——这是Python 3代码。我还为它添加了一些颜色：

import atexit
from time import time
from datetime import timedelta, datetime


def seconds_to_str(elapsed=None):
    if elapsed is None:
        return datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
    else:
        return str(timedelta(seconds=elapsed))


def log(txt, elapsed=None):
    colour_cyan = '\033[36m'
    colour_reset = '\033[0;0;39m'
    colour_red = '\033[31m'
    print('\n ' + colour_cyan + '  [TIMING]> [' + seconds_to_str() + '] ----> ' + txt + '\n' + colour_reset)
    if elapsed:
        print("\n " + colour_red + " [TIMING]> Elapsed time ==> " + elapsed + "\n" + colour_reset)


def end_log():
    end = time()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", seconds_to_str(elapsed))


start = time()
atexit.register(end_log)
log("Start Program")

log（）=>打印定时信息的函数。

txt==>要记录的第一个参数及其用于标记计时的字符串。

atexit==>Python模块，用于注册程序退出时可以调用的函数。
