I’m just starting to think about how I could get render time using python but I wanted to see if anyone has done this already.

- Note the time when a render starts
- Note the time when a render ends
- Compute the difference to give a total time spent rendering.
- Send this data to a text file or just a shell readout.

Ideally this would work for both Render Nodes and Timeline Rendering.
