Python Profiler Trouble

Use a smaller test case.
Profile smaller portions of the internals one at a time:

def funct():
     funct1()
     funct2()
     funct3()

becomes

def funct():
     profile('funct1()')
     profile('funct2()')
     profile('funct3()')

 From here you should be able to figure the rest out.
