As part of a school project I had to make a stopwatch with Python. I wish to show my teacher but at the moment it is a little messy and long. Is there any way to make it more compact or easier to read?

As part of a personal project, I wanted to make a stopwatch with Python. I wish to show my friend but at the moment it is a little messy and long. Is there any way to make it more compact or easier to read?
