Namespaces and the timeit module

[Michele Simionato]

I use a little wrapper to timeit:

$ cat timeit_.py
import timeit, __main__, warnings

warnings.filterwarnings('ignore',
'import \* only allowed at module level',SyntaxWarning)

def timeit(stmt, setup='from __main__ import *', n=1000):
     t = timeit.Timer(stmt,setup)
     try: print t.repeat(number=n) 
     except: t.print_exc()

You can import it with "from timeit_ import timeit" and it gives you access to
your __main__ program namespace.
