How can I use the timeit module for advanced performance testing?

You can use the timeit module to measure the execution time of small code snippets. For advanced usage, consider using the Timer class to create custom timers.

Can I run multiple statements in a single timeit call?

Yes, you can use the 'stmt' parameter to pass a string containing multiple statements. Just ensure they are separated by semicolons.

What about using setup code? How do I include that?

You can use the 'setup' parameter to define any setup code that needs to run before the timing starts. This is useful for initializing variables or importing modules.

Is there a way to get more detailed statistics from timeit?

Yes, you can use the repeat() method to run the timer multiple times and get a list of results, which allows you to calculate averages and standard deviations.
