how to pass parameters of a function when using timeit.Timer()

Question

This is the outline of a simple program

# some pre-defined constants
A = 1
B = 2

# function that does something critical
def foo(num1, num2):
    # do somet

There is a much simpler solution (at least for Python 3), you can cause the code to be executed within your current global namespace:

t = timeit.Timer(stmt="foo(num1,num2)", globals=globals())

https://docs.python.org/3/library/timeit.html#examples I know globals are not preferred, but if you are just making a quick script to check something I think this is the easiest implementation.
