datetime.now() - startTime returns a timedelta object.

This object expose a total_seconds() method which output a float.

So you should be able to convert this delta to microseconds like:

from datetime import datetime
import time

startTime = datetime.now()
time.sleep(0.01)

seconds = (datetime.now() - startTime).total_seconds()
print(seconds)
micro = seconds * 1000
print(micro)

Ouput:

0.010115 # seconds
10.115   # micro seconds
