currently, timeit accepts programs line by line as commandline arguments. 

it would be convenient to give it a program as a file to benchmark.

This module provides a simple way to time small bits of Python code.

What problem are you trying to solve.

I was modifying the try/except/finally/else code generation and wanted to run my own benchmarks.

It's cumbersome to edit them in a command to test different variations, especially when you have to indent.

Usually, when you benchmark a non-trivial piece of code, you need also to specify a setup code. If the benchmarked code is large enough to be read from a file, the setup code should be read from a file too.

The common practice is to write the benchmarked code as a function which can be imported and repeatedly executed.

$ python -m timeit -s 'from mybench import test' 'test()'
