Don't understand how #6422 addresses this - would also like to see a more convenient API for timing; at present CLI gives a nice formatted output, and timeit.timeit gives just the raw timing in seconds. 

Would be easy to implement by simply refactoring main() in to the command line parsing component (first ~ 50 lines from https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/timeit.py#L256 to ~https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/timeit.py#L312 ) and actual timing and printing component, which could then be called via API. 

Am happy to work this up if this can be reopened...?
