measuring a function time

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi,
I want to measure a function run time. I read 
http://docs.python.org/library/time.html but I am confused and don't know which 
one is suitable. I don't know is daylight timing important or not.... or is Y2K 
issue important for my case or not.... I also don't know how epoch time is 
related to my work.

I just want to do this (pseudocode):
start_time = get_current_time;
function();
end_time = get_current_time;
print (end_time - start_time)

the output should be 7600 (s) for example. What is the best and easiest way to 
do that?

Thanks,
