[Python-talk] Using timeit

[bruce.labitt at autoliv.com]

Is it possible to use timeit in running code?  This is what I'm trying to 
do.

import timeit

s = """\
cmd = 4
fftdatareal = pack( fmt, cmd, *realX )
cmd = 5
fftdataimag = pack( fmt, cmd, *imagX )
"""
t = timeit.Timer(stmt=s)
print "%.2f sec" % t.timeit(number=1)

This give a NameError: global name 'pack' is not defined

How does one fix the name error? 
Will fftdatareal and fftdataimag be populated using this construction?
Will the stdout have the time in seconds for the packing?
