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)    

与@rogeriopvl的响应类似，我添加了一个轻微的修改，使用相同的库将长时间运行的作业转换为小时-分钟-秒。

import time
start_time = time.time()
main()
seconds = time.time() - start_time
print('Time Taken:', time.strftime("%H:%M:%S",time.gmtime(seconds)))

样本输出

Time Taken: 00:00:08

首先，以管理员身份打开命令提示符（CMD）并在那里键入，安装人性化的软件包-pip安装人性化

代码：

from humanfriendly import format_timespan
import time
begin_time = time.time()
# Put your code here
end_time = time.time() - begin_time
print("Total execution time: ", format_timespan(end_time))

输出：

我定义了以下Python装饰器：

def profile(fct):
  def wrapper(*args, **kw):
    start_time = time.time()
    ret = fct(*args, **kw)
    print("{} {} {} return {} in {} seconds".format(args[0].__class__.__name__,
                                                    args[0].__class__.__module__,
                                                    fct.__name__,
                                                    ret,
                                                    time.time() - start_time))
    return ret
  return wrapper

并将其用于函数或类/方法：

@profile
def main()
   ...

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

您可以使用Python分析器cProfile来测量CPU时间，以及每个函数内部花费的时间以及每个函数被调用的次数。如果您想在不知道从哪里开始的情况下提高脚本的性能，这非常有用。对另一个堆栈溢出问题的回答很好。查看文档总是很好的。

以下是如何从命令行使用cProfile评测脚本的示例：

$ python -m cProfile euler048.py
