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)    

from time import time
start_time = time()
...
end_time = time()
time_taken = end_time - start_time # time_taken is in seconds
hours, rest = divmod(time_taken,3600)
minutes, seconds = divmod(rest, 60)

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))

我喜欢datetime模块提供的输出，其中时间增量对象以人类可读的方式显示天、小时、分钟等。

例如：

from datetime import datetime
start_time = datetime.now()
# do your work here
end_time = datetime.now()
print('Duration: {}'.format(end_time - start_time))

样本输出，例如。

Duration: 0:00:08.309267

or

Duration: 1 day, 1:51:24.269711

正如J.F.Sebastian所提到的，这种方法在当地时间可能会遇到一些棘手的情况，因此使用更安全：

import time
from datetime import timedelta
start_time = time.monotonic()
end_time = time.monotonic()
print(timedelta(seconds=end_time - start_time))

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")

使用line_profiler。

line_profiler将描述单个代码行执行所需的时间。分析器通过Cython在C语言中实现，以减少分析开销。

from line_profiler import LineProfiler
import random

def do_stuff(numbers):
    s = sum(numbers)
    l = [numbers[i]/43 for i in range(len(numbers))]
    m = ['hello'+str(numbers[i]) for i in range(len(numbers))]

numbers = [random.randint(1,100) for i in range(1000)]
lp = LineProfiler()
lp_wrapper = lp(do_stuff)
lp_wrapper(numbers)
lp.print_stats()

结果将是：

Timer unit: 1e-06 s

Total time: 0.000649 s
File: <ipython-input-2-2e060b054fea>
Function: do_stuff at line 4

     5         1           10     10.0      1.5      s = sum(numbers)
     6         1          186    186.0     28.7      l = [numbers[i]/43 for i in range(len(numbers))]
     7         1          453    453.0     69.8      m = ['hello'+str(numbers[i]) for i in range(len(numbers))]
