Profiling using pycallgraph

Extract pycallgraph-0.5.1.zip and then hop into the directory and run:

python setup.py install

Just before your first line of code you want to graph, put in the following code:

import pycallgraph

pycallgraph.start_trace()

To stop the trace and generate the graph, put in the following code (usually at the end of your program):

pycallgraph.make_dot_graph('test.png')
