Get python unit test duration in seconds

Question

Is there any way to get the total amount of time that "unittest.TextTestRunner().run()" has taken to run a specific unit test.

I'm using a for loop to test modules against certain scenarios (some having to be used and some not, so they run a few times), and I would like to print the total time it has taken to run all the tests.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATED, thanks to @Centralniak's comment.

How about simple

from datetime import datetime

tick = datetime.now()

# run the tests here   

tock = datetime.now()   
diff = tock - tick    # the result is a datetime.timedelta object
print(diff.total_seconds())
