Not really. Python was still running at the time that it prints the time of the tests. So it's only natural that the wall time Python prints on just the tests is going to be smaller then the wall time time prints for the entire python process. Same for when it starts, some stuff is done in Python before it starts its timer. Regards Floris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
