How do I get time of a Python program's execution?

Question

I have a command line program in Python that takes a while to finish. I want to know the exact time it takes to finish running.I've looked at the `timeit` module, but it seems it's only for small snippets of code. I want to time the whole program.

Have you tried using the time module?

import time

start = time.time()

#your code

end = time.time()

print("Time elapsed in milliseconds:", end - start)
