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))

我将这个timing.py模块放入我自己的站点包目录中，并在模块顶部插入导入计时：

import atexit
from time import clock

def secondsToStr(t):
    return "%d:%02d:%02d.%03d" % \
        reduce(lambda ll,b : divmod(ll[0],b) + ll[1:],
            [(t*1000,),1000,60,60])

line = "="*40
def log(s, elapsed=None):
    print line
    print secondsToStr(clock()), '-', s
    if elapsed:
        print "Elapsed time:", elapsed
    print line
    print

def endlog():
    end = clock()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", secondsToStr(elapsed))

def now():
    return secondsToStr(clock())

start = clock()
atexit.register(endlog)
log("Start Program")

如果程序中有重要的阶段，我也可以在程序中调用timing.log。但仅包括导入计时就可以打印开始和结束时间，以及总运行时间。（请原谅我晦涩难懂的secondsToStr函数，它只是将浮点秒数设置为hh:mm:ss.sss格式。）

注意：上述代码的Python3版本可以在这里找到。

这是获取程序运行时间的最简单方法：

在程序末尾编写以下代码。

import time
print(time.clock())

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)    

如果您想以微秒为单位测量时间，那么可以使用以下版本，完全基于Paul McGuire和Nicojo的答案——这是Python 3代码。我还为它添加了一些颜色：

import atexit
from time import time
from datetime import timedelta, datetime


def seconds_to_str(elapsed=None):
    if elapsed is None:
        return datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
    else:
        return str(timedelta(seconds=elapsed))


def log(txt, elapsed=None):
    colour_cyan = '\033[36m'
    colour_reset = '\033[0;0;39m'
    colour_red = '\033[31m'
    print('\n ' + colour_cyan + '  [TIMING]> [' + seconds_to_str() + '] ----> ' + txt + '\n' + colour_reset)
    if elapsed:
        print("\n " + colour_red + " [TIMING]> Elapsed time ==> " + elapsed + "\n" + colour_reset)


def end_log():
    end = time()
    elapsed = end-start
    log("End Program", seconds_to_str(elapsed))


start = time()
atexit.register(end_log)
log("Start Program")

log（）=>打印定时信息的函数。

txt==>要记录的第一个参数及其用于标记计时的字符串。

atexit==>Python模块，用于注册程序退出时可以调用的函数。

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？
