My script.

def PunishmentBenchmark():

    a = time.clock()

    b = 1000
    h = '"I am a bad computer"'
    s = "I'll never misbehave again... :("

    for i in range(b):
        print i, ":( I am a bad computer"

    d = time.clock()

    e = d - a   

    print "My hands hurt! It took me", e, "seconds to write", '"I am a 
bad computer"', b, "times, at"
    print b/e, "loops per second!!!\n\r"
    print "I'll never misbehave again... :("

PunishmentBenchmark()
