I dont think that will be my primary use.

That was my initial thought, yes

Sounds complicated, but that would be nice.

I'll play around with ipythons %magic to see if I can get a workflow Im
comfortable with.
I was thinking something in the line of ipython's %prun for a quick looksy,
and the possibility to easily write small scripts to test different inputs
(small/large arrays etc.) to a specific function.
Any recommendations are very welcome. I do not have much experience in
profiling code.
