You may use this function:

from time import clock

def gettime(repetitions, function, *arguments):
    start = clock()
    for i in range(repetitions):
        function(*arguments)
    end = clock()
    return end - start


which measures the time used for repetitions repetitions
of the function function with an arbitrary number of arguments.
