[issue6422] timeit called from within Python should allow autoranging

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

The current patch moves print operations inside timeit() and repeat(), instead of leaving the main() function as the only one with side effects.

My counter-proposal was to instead extract the current main functionality out into a side-effect free public API of its own, and change the existing main function to call that new API and print the results.
