Of course...depending on the resolution you need, you can do something like import datetime start_script = datetime.datetime.now() # do stuff start_postgresql = datetime.datetime.now() # make your PG call end_postgresql = datetime.datetime.now() # do remaining stuff end_script = datetime.datetime.now() pg_time_taken = end_postgresql - start_postgresql script_time_taken = end_script - start_script You than have pg_time_taken and script_time_taken (which are timedelta objects) that you can use for whatever display purposes you need. Alternatively, you can use time.clock() from time import clock clock() # do stuff start_pg = clock() # do pg stuff end_pg = clock() # rest of script end_script = clock() print "Your script took %i seconds" % end_script print "Your PG took %i seconds" % (end_pg - start_pg) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
