The problem is that you have to pass the function name as a string,
and self.slow_dog is only going to be known inside this instance.
(profile will have its own, different idea of what self is, object
orientation being object oriented and all).

So, cheat!

class C:
    def slow_dog( self ):
        import time
        time.sleep(5)
    def doit( self ):
        global see_thru_skin
        import profile
        see_thru_skin = self.slow_dog
        profile.run( 'see_thru_skin()' )
