Why doesn't the following work? It generates a "NameError: global
name 'data' is not defined" error.
import timeit
global data
data = [3,8,4,8,6,0,5,7,2,1]
env = "global data; x = data"
print timeit.Timer('x.sort()', env).timeit()
print timeit.Timer('x.sort(cmp=cmp', env).timeit()
How can I get timeit() to see an external (to it) variable?
(In the real program 'data' is very expensive to create and
contains non-reproducable data and the two timeit calls
must be run on identical objects.
