You might want to check out pychecker.py.  Its output:

    Processing Script1...

    Warnings...

    Script1.py:1: Imported module (glob) not used
    Script1.py:1: Imported module (string) not used
    Script1.py:9: Local variable (alllines) not used
    Script1.py:20: (str) shadows builtin

You've replaced the built-in function str with the return value of 
DoTestTime().
