def Xbonacci(signature,n):
    count = 0
    while len(signature) != n:
        sum = 0
        for i in signature[count:]:
            sum = sum + i
        signature.append(sum)
        count += 1
    return signature


print(Xbonacci([1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 20))

My code excutes correctly and there isnt any errors, but it apparently takes longer than it should.

How can i find out the time taken to execute the program?

P.S This is a challenge on Codewars.

Please dont optimize my code, thats what i'd like to do once i get the execution time sorted.

time module is what you need

import time

def Xbonacci(signature,n):
    start = time.time()
    count = 0
    while len(signature) != n:
        sum = 0
        for i in signature[count:]:
            sum = sum + i
        signature.append(sum)
        count += 1
    end = time.time()
    print(f'Time elapsed: {end - start}')
    return signature


print(Xbonacci([1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 20))

if you are creating multiple functions consider making a time decorator
