Why isn't this timing of program right?

start = time.time()

process_file(builder_configs.data_directory_id)

end = time.time()

print("Time spent: ", str(timedelta(minutes=(end - start))))

At the end of the running the program, it shows:

Time spent:  1 day, 12:12:41.348290

This is totally wrong. It runs and ended within at most 1 hour, but it shows 1 day? How to interpret this?

As Miloslaw Smyk commented, you want to set the seconds, not the minutes because time.time() measures seconds. You can fix this by replacing the last line with this:

print("Time spent: ", str(timedelta(seconds=(end - start))))
