Hi, Python version: 2.6
Script: def pt(start_time, end_time): def ptime(time, time_str): min, sec = divmod(time, 60) hr, min = divmod(min, 60) stmt = time_str + '\t' if hr: stmt += str(hr) + 'h' stmt += str(min) + 'm' + str(sec) + 's' print stmt if start_time and end_time: real_time = end_time[4] - start_time[4] ptime(real_time, "real") user_time = end_time[0] - start_time[0] ptime(user_time, "user") sys_time = end_time[1] - start_time[1] ptime(sys_time, "sys") import os, subprocess cmd = ['ls'] print cmd t1 = os.times() subprocess.call(cmd) t2 = os.times() pt(t1, t2) print ".end" Output: real 0.0m0.0100000002421s user 0.0m0.0s sys 0.0m0.0s Command: $ time ls Output: real 0m0.007s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Is this the intended behaviour? As per the link <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/ browse_thread/thread/8032897a30781df/c656a79d4c3268a6> it was fixed in python 2.5. Can anybody help. Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
