python时间变量_Python时间变量不变

我修改了一些在stackoverflow上发现的here代码，但是我得到了一些奇怪的行为。有人能看出我的错误吗？在import atexit

from time import clock

line = "="*10 + ">>>"

def secondsToStr(s):

return "{0}.{1}ms".format(round(s*1000), round(s*1000000))

##

# @brief Starts a timer. If the program crashes, the end function will be called anyway.

def start():

atexit.register(stop)

print(line,"Start time measurement")

startTime = clock()

print("new start time:", startTime)

##

# @brief Needs to be called after start(). Prints the time passed since start() was called.

def stop():

end = clock()

elapsed = end-startTime

print(startTime, end) # Inserted for debugging

print(line, "Ellapsed time:", secondsToStr(elapsed))

atexit.unregister(stop)

def now():

return secondsToStr(clock())

startTime = clock()

其思想是调用start()和stop()来测量程序在这两个调用之间花费的时间。奇怪的是，startTime没有改变。因此，stop()的每个调用都给出了自start()第一次调用以来的过去时间。以下是输出示例：

^{pr2}$

为什么startTime永远不变？它应该在每次调用start()时获得一个新值。在
