Python comes with a "profile" module in its standard library.
Implemented in Python and with quite a high overhead, it
drastically slows down the execution, however.
There is a C-implemented alternative (maybe named "cProfile", or something
similar) - see the documentation of the "profile" module; when I remember
right, it mentions alternatives.
