I copy-edited the patch just looking for minor things like punctuation, etc:
+a :ref:`command-line-interface` as well as :ref:`callable <python-interface>`
a callable one
+See also Tim Peters' introduction to the "Algorithms" chapter in the Python
+Cookbook, published by O'Reilly.
italicize or underline book titles (is there a reST directive for books?)
+The following example shows how the :ref:`command-line-interface`,
no comma
+Python interface
Python Interface

stars around setup and timer like there is with *number*?
+ Create a :class:`Timer` instance with the given statement, setup code and timer

ditto
+ Define a default timer, in a platform specific manner. On Windows,

+ :func:`time.clock` has microsecond granularity but :func:`time.time`'s
granularity, but
+ granularity is 1/60th of a second; on Unix, :func:`time.clock` has 1/100th of
I would just split this into two sentences since it already combines two compound sentences (i.e. it is effectively four sentences):
second. On Unix,
+ a second granularity and :func:`time.time` is much more precise. On either

*number* times
+ baseline overhead can be measured by invoking the program without arguments and
arguments, and |
