Hi!
I don't know if I'm right here, because I've tested a simple model of what
you're
trying to do:

You call do_timing() with the number of calls and one Argument, the tuple of
functions,
so the funcs in do_timing() is a tuple containing your tuple on the call here.
Calling it this way should solve it:
do_timing(100, makezeros.lots_of_appends, makezeros.one_multiply)
Here is a short extract from the Python-Shell of my test:
>>> def myfuncs( *funcs):
... for func in funcs:
... apply( func )
...
>>> def sayHello():
... print "Hello\n"
...
>>> myfuncs( sayHello, sayHello )
Hello
Hello
>>> myfuncs( ( sayHello, sayHello) )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 3, in myfuncs
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable
