The point here is mainly that there's a few ways of doing what the OP asked, and which is better depends on precisely what they want (which they didn't state in detail). As regards the suggestion of adding this functionality to the timeit module, the fact that there *are* multiple options with different trade-offs is precisely why building one particular choice in as "the way to do it" is probably a mistake.
