Best way to capture short spans in a Duration?

[Evan0000000000]

i was to measure execution time with perfcounter and convert that to a Duration to take advantage of the attributes in formatting a logging message.

It seems like to do this one has to do roughly:

start = perfcounter() # run some stuff that takes time elapsed = perfcounter() - start elapsed_msec, elapsed_sec = math.modf(elapsed) elapsed_msec = elapsed_msec * 100 elapsed_d= Duration(seconds=elapsed_sec, milliseconds=elapsed_msec) log.info(f'Elapsed time: {elapsed_d.hours}:' f'{elapsed_d.minutes}:' f'{elapsed_d.remaining_seconds}' ) 

This seems a little convoluted, but conversely using Datetime.now() doesn't capture any time elapsed for relatively fast intervals, so I'm not sure of a better way to achieve this.

Edit-
For context this is for wrapping around some data processing functionality, so a large dataset may conceivably take a few hours but a test case or a small dataset may take virtually no time, hence the interest in easy access to the Duration's hour minute and second attributes while also capturing small spans of time as well.
