Hmm. I think the real solution here is to separate this into two functions:

def timeit(func, loops=1, verbose=False):
    def inner(*args, **kwargs):

        # some code

    return inner

def timeit_nofunc(loops=1, verbose=False):
    def partial_inner(func):
        return timeit(func, loops, verbose)
    return partial_inner

But without knowing more about what you're accomplishing, I can't
really say. If you just want a quick fix to shut the linter up (note
that this is NOT a Python error, it's just a message from a linter),
you could use a different name for one of the variables.
