The time module as has time function that returns a floating point which is the number of seconds since January 1st 1970. The easiest thing is to:

from time import time, sleep
now = time()
endTime = now + 10  # ten seconds to run loop
while now < endTime:
    sleep(1)  # do something that takes some time (one second here)
    now = time()
    print now

Or depending on your goal you could try something like this:

from time import time
startTime = time()
for i in range(100):
          t = time() - startTime
          print i,t
