[issue46500] make timeit module accept files

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

Usually, when you benchmark a non-trivial piece of code, you need also to 
specify a setup code. If the benchmarked code is large enough to be read from a 
file, the setup code should be read from a file too.

The common practice is to write the benchmarked code as a function which can be 
imported and repeatedly executed.

$ python -m timeit -s 'from mybench import test' 'test()'

Arjun  added the comment:

I was modifying the try/except/finally/else code generation and wanted to run 
my own benchmarks.

It's cumbersome to edit them in a command to test different variations, 
especially when you have to indent.

This module provides a simple way to time small bits of Python code.

What problem are you trying to solve.

[issue46500] make timeit module accept files

[Arjun]

New submission from Arjun :

currently, timeit accepts programs line by line as commandline arguments. 

it would be convenient to give it a program as a file to benchmark.
