What is shell.timefunc?
This snippet, which I attach to my interactive shell, since I find timeit 
awkward to use in that context:

def _get_timer():
    if sys.platform == "win32":
        return time.clock
    else:
        return time.time
    return
def timefunc(func, *args, **kwds):
    timer = _get_timer()
    count, totaltime = 0, 0
    while totaltime < 0.5:
        t1 = timer()
        res = func(*args, **kwds)
        t2 = timer()
        totaltime += (t2-t1)
        count += 1
    if count > 1000:
        unit = "usec"
        timeper = totaltime * 1000000 / count
    else:
        unit = "msec"
        timeper = totaltime * 1000 / count
    return "%s(...)  %s iterations, %.2f%s per call" % \
                (func.__name__, count, timeper, unit)
