Jupyter/Ipython Notebook: How to time multiline segment of code?

Question

The %time magic command allows you to conveniently time a single line of Python code.

Can I also time a block of code without wrapping it in a function first? Is there an equivalent function that times an entire cell?

I guess we should use %time on all the lines we want to time and add them up manually :P. Even I couldn't find it. — Mohammad Yusuf, Nov 26 '16 at 10:37

But I guess this doesn't work if I use it in jupyter notebook using pyspark kernel? – Baktaawar Feb 23 '17 at 19:19
@Baktaawar inline %time magic doesn't work as well with PySpark kernel – VB_ Jul 08 '21 at 09:43
Adding to this answer: make sure to put `%%time` on the first line and then your commands on the following lines in the cell. – scottlittle Aug 06 '21 at 05:07
