This is Paul McGuire's answer that works for me. Just in case someone was having trouble running that one.
import atexit
from time import clock
def reduce(function, iterable, initializer=None):
it = iter(iterable)
if initializer is None:
value = next(it)
else:
value = initializer
for element in it:
value = function(value, element)
return value
def secondsToStr(t):
return "%d:%02d:%02d.%03d" % \
reduce(lambda ll,b : divmod(ll[0],b) + ll[1:],
[(t*1000,),1000,60,60])
line = "="*40
def log(s, elapsed=None):
print (line)
print (secondsToStr(clock()), '-', s)
if elapsed:
print ("Elapsed time:", elapsed)
print (line)
def endlog():
end = clock()
elapsed = end-start
log("End Program", secondsToStr(elapsed))
def now():
return secondsToStr(clock())
def main():
start = clock()
atexit.register(endlog)
log("Start Program")
Call timing.main() from your program after importing the file.
