Yowza! One of the features I really liked in Perl has shored Python island somewhere in the 2.4'ies, it seems[1]. Thanks for the tip! PS. In case it wasn't clear what I referred to, it was the ability to run given module as a script. Of course you could supply full path to timeit.py: $ python2.3 /usr/lib/python2.3/timeit.py \ "for x in [i for i in xrange(10)]: y = x" 100000 loops, best of 3: 9.96 usec per loop But using -m makes it much more convenient. Footnotes: [1] Well, not exactly equal to -M in Perl, but close enough for timing stuff -- # Edvard Majakari Software Engineer # PGP PUBLIC KEY available Soli Deo Gloria!
