Actually, you could do this:

class Dog(object):
    def aFunction(self):
        result = 20 + 2
    def run(self):
        #do stuff
        aFunction()
        #do other stuff
import timeit

t = timeit.Timer("d.aFunction()", "from __main__ import Dog; d =
Dog()")
print t.timeit()


It doesn't matter if you call aFunction() directly if all you want to
do is time aFunction().
