It probably is in the tutorial and certainly is in the reference manual.
I don't understand "usage of 'python0'".

2.how can i know how long does a program run?

time module

user 0m0.050s
sys 0m0.000s

$ time python permute3.py 56789 3

Reasonably so.

As Terry said, look at the "time" module. Don't use the "time" program
(a standard program on UNIX-like systems) unless you actually want to
time the startup of the interpreter too rather than just the code itself.
