我认为这是最好和最简单的方法：

from time import monotonic

start_time = monotonic()
# something
print(f"Run time {monotonic() - start_time} seconds")

或与装饰师一起：

from time import monotonic
    
def record_time(function):
    def wrap(*args, **kwargs):
        start_time = monotonic()
        function_return = function(*args, **kwargs)
        print(f"Run time {monotonic() - start_time} seconds")
        return function_return
    return wrap

@record_time
def your_function():
    # something

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

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))

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。
