How to use Python datetime Module to measure elapsed time in Python In Python

Using Python time Module to measure elapsed time in Python

we can also use Python datetime module, we can also record time and find the execution time of a block of code. The process is same as using time.time(), measuring start and end time and then calculating the difference.

Example: How to measure elapsed time using datetime.datetime.now()

Python3

# importing the module
from datetime import datetime
 
 
# sample function for testing
def print_square(x):
    return x ** 2
 
 
# record start time (in datetime format)
start = datetime.now()
 
# calls the function
print_square(3)
 
# record rnd time (in datetime format)
end = datetime.now()
 
# print elapsed time in microseconds
print("Elapsed", (end - start).total_seconds() * 10**6, "µs")

Output:

Elapsed 12.0 µs
