You made timeit hide that data! A simple refactoring makes it available again. See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12153 With the patch there you can do: sage: T=sage.misc.sage_timeit.sage_timeit("factorial(100)",globals(),repeat=20) sage: stats.median(T.series) 9.8094940185546871e-07 sage: stats.variance(T.series) 9.7986974709017813e-13 -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
