`timeit` is included in Python since 2.3. You shouldn't need to install it — Cfreak, May 16 '14 at 15:19

timeit is part of the Python standard library since 2.3. There should be no need to install it via pip.

That's because timeit is a built in Python module. You don't need to use pip for that.

Here's a list of modules included with Python. As long as you have Python installed, you should have these: https://docs.python.org/2/library/

You don't need to install it separately. timeit is available in python itself. It is available in both 2nd and 3rd versions of python. you can find timeit documentation here
