R. David Murray added the comment: I think the use of "timing loop" is very confusing, since the word 'loop' refers to one execution of the statement body in the actual output text. What about calling it a 'timing run'? It looks like whatever we come up with should be applied to 3.5 and 3.6 as well. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: commit review -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23183> _______________________________________
