python3-line-profiler
line-by-line profiling for Python
LineProfiler can be given functions to profile, and it will time the execution of each individual line inside those functions. In a typical workflow, one only cares about line timings of a few functions because wading through the results of timing every single line of code would be overwhelming. However, LineProfiler does need to be explicitly told what functions to profile. If you are using IPython, there is an implementation of an %lprun magic command which will let you specify functions to profile and a statement to execute.
