The following three things are equivalent:
python /path/to/<module>.py
/path/to/<module>.py # assuming the OS knows how to exec it
python -m<module> # assuming <module> is on sys.path
So that just leaves the differences between:
[-n N] [-r N] [-s S] [-t] [-c] [-h] [statement ...]
'try:' ' str.__nonzero__' 'except AttributeError:' ' pass'
'L=range(3); n=23' 'x=L[:]; x.append(n)'
Those look pretty similar to me (aside from the fact that they're
testing different things). Each argument in single quotes is a line of
the code you want timed.
