How to calculate time interval between two time strings in Python

Question

Need to find the difference between the two times, how do I do this?

Do I use the date/time module?

My goal is to calculate the averages of multiple time duration. I am thinking for storing them in a list and later need to calculate the average. For the averaging, should I convert to seconds and then average?

Answer 1

Try doing this - It is efficient for timing short-term events.

import time
start = time.time()

time.sleep(10)  # or anything

done = time.time()
elapsed = done - start
print(elapsed)
