[issue12697] timeiot documention still refers to the timeit.py script

[Alexis Metaireau]

New submission from Alexis Metaireau <alexis at notmyidea.org>:

The example section of the timeit documentation still refers to "timeit.py", and isn't using the "python -m timeit" syntax used above.
http://docs.python.org/library/timeit.html#examples

I'm not sure when and if the timeit.py script has been removed from the python installation (and I'm not sure on where to look for this).

The timeit.py docstring also refers to this "old" syntax. Should we update it?

All credit for this report goes to Boris Feld.
