New submission from unutbu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Re: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-timeit.html Where the documentation says "In a typical case, the lowest value gives a lower bound for how fast your machine can run the given code snippet", it should read instead, "In a typical case, the lowest value gives an upper bound for how fast your machine can run the given code snippet".
Clearly, if a machine can run a code snippet in x seconds with background processes, then the fastest the machine can run the code snippet (without background processes) should be <= x seconds. Therefore x is an upper bound rather than a lower bound. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 69405 nosy: georg.brandl, unutbu severity: normal status: open title: Documentation: timeit: "lower bound" should read "upper bound" versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3318> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
