I use that now in my function:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
def time_test(function, arguments, print_time = True):
    t = Timer()
    with t:
        results     = function(*arguments)
    used_time = t.interval
    if print_time:
        print('It took {0} seconds'.format(used_time))
    else:
        results = (used_time, results)
    return results
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that neater. It also looks like the time value is a little
less, but I did not really measure it.
