Taking you extremely literally: from time import time start = time() run_section_here() end = time() runtime = end-start Assuming you're doing this in order to optimize: http://docs.python.org/library/profile.html Or in particularly simple cases: http://docs.python.org/library/timeit.html Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
