New submission from Antony Lee:
The docstring of timeit.Timer.autorange currently reads
| Return the number of loops so that total time >= 0.2.
|
| Calls the timeit method with *number* set to successive powers of
| ten (10, 100, 1000, ...) up to a maximum of one billion, until
| the time taken is at least 0.2 second, or the maximum is reached.
| Returns ``(number, time_taken)``.
|
| If *callback* is given and is not None, it will be called after
| each trial with two arguments: ``callback(number, time_taken)``.
Note the contradiction between the return values documented in the first and
second paragraphs (the second one is correct).
