+Here are some simple ways to profile Python scripts.I heavily use this to check my <strong><a title="PE solutions" href="https://github.com/jlengrand/project_euler" target="_blank">Project Euler solutions</a></strong>.
+<h1></h1>
+<h1><strong>SOLUTION 1:</strong></h1>
+The main common option would be to use the <a title="profile" href="http://docs.python.org/library/profile.html?highlight=profile#cProfile" target="_blank"><strong>profile</strong> </a>(or <strong><a title="cprofile" href="http://docs.python.org/library/profile.html?highlight=profile#cProfile" target="_blank">cprofile</a></strong>) module.There are two different ways of using it :
+<ul>
+	<li>As a module, by directly running</li>
+</ul>
+<div>[python]
+python -m cProfile script.py
+[/python]
+
+</div>
+<div></div>
+<div>
+<ul>
+	<li>In your code, by importing the utilities</li>
+</ul>
+<div>[python]
+import cProfile
+cProfile.run('function()') # in your __main__
+[/python]
+
+<em>Bonus : You can use several options for sorting results using the -s switch (cumulative/name/time/file sorting are available).</em>
+<h1><strong>SOLUTION 2:</strong></h1>
+If you want to avoid using a command line, or you don't have the profile module installed; here os another possibility. There is also the <strong><a title="timeit module" href="http://docs.python.org/library/timeit.html" target="_blank">timeit </a></strong>module available.
+
+[python]
+import timeit
+t1 = timeit.Timer(&quot;function()&quot;, &quot;from __main__ import function&quot;)
+print t1.timeit(1)
+[/python]
+
+I use this option on Eclipse because I didn't want to install the profile module on Windows.
+
+This is however less clear, and way less detailed while still useful :).
+
+Choose you profiler option and get on <a title="PE" href="http://projecteuler.net/" target="_blank"><strong>Project Euler</strong> </a>!
