[Tutor] What's the problem with my SpinSpeeds.py?

[Dick Moores]

My thanks to dragonfirebane, Alan Gauld, and Kent Johnson for their help 
and guidance.  I don't  really grasp yet what's going on, but here's what 
I have now. It incorporates all of their suggestions.   --Dick

     for i in range(n):
         pass

def countUsingCounter(n):
     c = 0
     while c < n:
         c += 1

     print "Enter count and repetitions as, e.g., 900 10000"
     n, repetitions = raw_input("Enter count and repetitions: ").split()
     return int(n), int(repetitions)

     from timeit import Timer

     t = Timer("countUsingRange(n)", "from __main__ import

     cmd = "countUsingXrange(%d)" % n
     t = Timer(cmd, "from __main__ import countUsingXrange")

     counterTime = t.timeit(repetitions)

     print
     print " range(%d) time = %f for %d repetitions" % (n, rangeTime,
