Calculating Time Difference

Question

at the start and end of my program, I have

from time import strftime
print int(strftime(\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\")



Y1=int(strftime(\"%Y\"))
m1=int(strftime(\         


        

Answer 1

You cannot calculate the differences separately ... what difference would that yield for 7:59 and 8:00 o'clock? Try

import time
time.time()

which gives you the seconds since the start of the epoch.

You can then get the intermediate time with something like

timestamp1 = time.time()
# Your code here
timestamp2 = time.time()
print "This took %.2f seconds" % (timestamp2 - timestamp1)
