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)    

我看过timeit模块，但它似乎只适用于小代码片段。我想给整个节目计时。

$ python -mtimeit -n1 -r1 -t -s "from your_module import main" "main()"

它运行一次your_module.main（）函数，并使用time.time（）函数作为计时器打印经过的时间。

要在Python中模拟/usr/bin/time，请参阅带有/usr/bin/time:如何捕获计时信息但忽略所有其他输出？的Python子进程？。

要测量每个函数的CPU时间（例如，不要包括time.sleep（）期间的时间），可以使用profile模块（Python 2上的cProfile）：

$ python3 -mprofile your_module.py

如果您想使用与配置文件模块相同的计时器，可以将-p传递给上面的timeit命令。

请参见如何评测Python脚本？

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))

Timeit是Python中的一个类，用于计算小代码块的执行时间。

Default_timer是此类中的一个方法，用于测量墙上时钟计时，而不是CPU执行时间。因此，其他进程执行可能会对此产生干扰。因此，它对小代码块很有用。

代码示例如下：

from timeit import default_timer as timer

start= timer()

# Some logic

end = timer()

print("Time taken:", end-start)

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，

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。
