[New-bugs-announce] [issue6422] timeit called from within Python should allow autoranging

[Scott David Daniels]

New submission from Scott David Daniels <Scott.Daniels at Acm.Org>:

timeit.main has a _very_ handy autoranging facility to pick an
appropriate number of repetitions when not specified.  The autoranging
code should be lifted to a method on Timer instances (so non-main code
can use it).  If number is specified as 0 or None, I would like to use
the results of that autoranging code in Timer.repeat and Timer.timeit.

Patch to follow.
