How do I get time of a Python program's execution?

Question

I have a command line program in Python that takes a while to finish. I want to know the exact time it takes to finish running.

I\'ve looked at the timeit

Answer 1

Later answer, but I use timeit:

import timeit
code_to_test = """
a = range(100000)
b = []
for i in a:
    b.append(i*2)
"""
elapsed_time = timeit.timeit(code_to_test, number=500)
print(elapsed_time)
# 10.159821493085474

• Wrap all your code, including any imports you may have, inside code_to_test.
• number argument specifies the amount of times the code should repeat.
