As other timing recipes have mentioned, the timeit module could be easier to work with. Sometimes, I just want to bracket a particular script with start, stop, and duration timing info. The following module (which I named "timing.py") is about as non-intrusive as you can get - just import the module.

If you want to get just simple overall statistics for running a script, you can just add this script to your Python site-packages directory, and then at the top of your script (or at the top of your "if __name__=='__main__':" block), add: <pre> import timing </pre>
When you run your script, importing this module will display a start time header, and register an atexit method that will display the end/elapsed time footer.
