You should really look into the timeit module -- you'll get nice
solid timings slightly easier to tweak.
Imagine something like:
import timeit
...
t0 = timeit.Timer(stmt='f(6, 6, 30, 6)',
setup='from __main__ import hypergeometric as f')
t1 = timeit.Timer(stmt='f(6, 6, 30, 6)',
setup='from __main__ import hypergeometric_gamma as f')
repetitions = 1 # Gross under-estimate of needed repetitions
while t0.timeit(repetitions) < .25: # .25 = minimum Secs per round
repetitions *= 10
print 'Going for %s repetitions' % repetitions
print 'hypergeometric:', t0.repeat(3, repetitions)
print 'hypergeometric_gamma:', t1.repeat(3, repetitions)
