Getting time from the system

[bartonc]

Thanks Barton,
This is what I am looking for.
I need this functionality for finding out ,how much time my application is taking for execution.Based on the more time taken I have to find out which function is taking more time ( similar to profiling).

You are welcome. It looks like you skills are growing. Keep it up.

Here's an alternate method:

from time import sleep
import time

def formatSec(seconds):
    milli = int(seconds%1*1000)
    days = float(seconds)/86400
    hours = days%1*24
    minutes = hours%1*60
    seconds = minutes%1*60
    if int(days) > 0:
        outStr = '%d days,' % days
    else:
        outStr = ''
    outStr = ''.join([outStr, '%02d:%02d:%02d' % (hours, minutes, seconds)])
    if milli > 0:
        outStr += ' and %d milliseconds' % milli
    return outStr

if __name__ == '__main__':
    t1 = time.time()
    time.sleep(3.75)
    t2 = time.time()
    print formatSec(t2-t1)

# >>> 00:00:03 and 750 milliseconds
