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

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")

在Linux或Unix中：

$ time python yourprogram.py

在Windows中，请参阅StackOverflow问题：如何在Windows命令行上测量命令的执行时间？

对于更详细的输出，

$ time -v python yourprogram.py
    Command being timed: "python3 yourprogram.py"
    User time (seconds): 0.08
    System time (seconds): 0.02
    Percent of CPU this job got: 98%
    Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0:00.10
    Average shared text size (kbytes): 0
    Average unshared data size (kbytes): 0
    Average stack size (kbytes): 0
    Average total size (kbytes): 0
    Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 9480
    Average resident set size (kbytes): 0
    Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 0
    Minor (reclaiming a frame) page faults: 1114
    Voluntary context switches: 0
    Involuntary context switches: 22
    Swaps: 0
    File system inputs: 0
    File system outputs: 0
    Socket messages sent: 0
    Socket messages received: 0
    Signals delivered: 0
    Page size (bytes): 4096
    Exit status: 0

对于使用Jupyter笔记本的数据人员

在单元格中，可以使用Jupyter的%%time魔术命令来测量执行时间：

%%time
[ x**2 for x in range(10000)]

输出

CPU times: user 4.54 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 4.54 ms
Wall time: 4.12 ms

这将仅捕获特定单元的执行时间。如果您想捕获整个笔记本（即程序）的执行时间，可以在同一目录中创建一个新笔记本，并在新笔记本中执行所有单元格：

假设上面的笔记本名为example_notebook.ipynb。在同一目录中的新笔记本中：

# Convert your notebook to a .py script:
!jupyter nbconvert --to script example_notebook.ipynb

# Run the example_notebook with -t flag for time
%run -t example_notebook

输出

IPython CPU timings (estimated):
  User   :       0.00 s.
  System :       0.00 s.
Wall time:       0.00 s.

我在很多地方都遇到了同样的问题，所以我创建了一个方便的套装占星术。你可以用pip安装钟表，然后以优雅的方式安装：

from horology import Timing

with Timing(name='Important calculations: '):
    prepare()
    do_your_stuff()
    finish_sth()

将输出：

Important calculations: 12.43 ms

或者更简单（如果你有一个功能）：

from horology import timed

@timed
def main():
    ...

将输出：

main: 7.12 h

它负责单位和舍入。它适用于python 3.6或更高版本。

我也喜欢Paul McGuire的回答，并提出了一个更符合我需求的上下文管理器表单。

    """Context Manager used with the statement 'with' to time some execution.

    Example:

    def endlog(self):

    def now(self):
