I have used it as a workaround for timeit.py's requirement that I pass
it strings instead of functions.
>>> def compute():
... 1+1
...
>>> import timeit
>>> t = timeit.Timer("__main__.compute()", "import __main__")
>>> t.timeit()

You can argue (as many have) that timeit.py needs a better API for
this. That's a different world than the existing real one.
