One way to do it would be by using partial so that the function, 'superMegaIntenseFunction' is used as a callable (ie without the ()) in the timer or directly inside timeit.timeit. Using partial will pass the argument to the function when it will be call by the timer.

from functools import partial
from timeit import timeit

print(timeit(partial(superMegaIntenseFunction, 10), number=1))
