title: python timeit module repeat function
body: <p>I have four functions named <code>numbers_string1()</code>, <code>numbers_string2()</code>, <code>numbers_string3()</code>, <code>numbers_string4()</code>, and I need to find out the execution time of these functions.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from numstring import *
  import time
  def profile_clock():
      l=["numbers_string1","numbers_string2","numbers_string3","num_strings4"]
      for i in l:
          count=1
          for j in range(5):
              m=[]
              count=count*10
              m=timeit.repeat("i(count)",5,count)
              #m=t.repeat(5,count)
              print i,(),"count=",count,"min=",min(m),"atuals=",m
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I execute this, I am getting error as global name <code>i</code> is not defined.</p>
