[Python] Is there a way to print incremental time instead of absolute time with Python logging

When using Python logging, asctime is very handy in looking at the hotspots in code. However, I have to decode or post-process the log to show incremental time taken between each log message.

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')


Is there a way to print incremental time instead?

I understand logging is meant to handle parallel threads etc., so incremental may not make much sense, but it helps a lot in simple cases.

What I get now

2024-09-13 12:37:19,981 - INFO - Got a Chunk of Data in 1.662097 seconds
2024-09-13 12:37:19,989 - INFO - Processed the Chunk in 0.008471 seconds
2024-09-13 12:37:19,993 - INFO - Optimized the Data in 0.002940 seconds


What I am looking for

1.662097 - INFO - Got a Chunk of Data in 1.662097 seconds
0.008471 - INFO - Processed the Chunk in 0.008471 seconds
0.002940 - INFO - Optimized the Data in 0.002940 seconds


Or something similar
