I'm inclined to agree with Ramchandra.  It might be worth a doc footnote, 
though.

2013-07-21 Thread R. David Murray 

R. David Murray added the comment:

Rather than closing it, we converted it to a documentation issue.  I think it 
is worth a footnote in the docs, since it is not obvious (without reading the 
source code) that a return statement will cause timeit to return an invalid 
result instead of raising a syntax error.

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

Go ahead and add a footnote, but do consider that such footnotes are mostly 
just clutter.  It doesn't help someone at the moment there is an invalid return 
value -- instead it just makes it so that afterward someone can say that it is 
documented.
