How can one profile Sage code in the notebook? I know you can use %prun <command> on the command line, but I understand this is a feature of IPython so it's not available in the notebook. I've looked (and searched) through the reference manual, sage-devel, and asksage to no avail.
There is now a thematic tutorial listing profiling tools for Sage: http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/thema...
I found that the Python profiler will do the job: http://docs.python.org/library/profil...
It would be cool if there was an easy way to get the notebook to display some kind of data visualization based on the statistics from the python profiler, like the way one can see lines highlighted and colored in the notebook when working with Cython code.
Just for reference, here's a snippet on how to use cProfile:
import cProfile, pstats
cProfile.runctx("your_function(10000)", globals(), locals(), DATA + "Profile.prof")
s = pstats.Stats(DATA + "Profile.prof")
s.strip_dirs().sort_stats("time").print_stats()
