I want to write an arcpy script to get the time elapsed for a geoprocessing task

[OLANIYANOLAKUNLE]

I want to calculate the time it takes to run series of geoprocessing tasks and use the result to populate a particular field in my database, any suggestions? Thanks

There might be fancier ways but this is the way I do it...

import time t1 = time.time() # do something here t2 = time.time() TimeTakenSecs = t2 - t1 print TimeTakenSecs

Cheers,
Neil
