[Speed] How can I integrate pyperf[ormance] w/ a heavy-duty memory profiler?

Hi there,

I apologize in advance for any potential dumbness in my question.

bytehound https://github.com/koute/bytehound is a cool profiler that works like this:

|$ export MEMORY_PROFILER_LOG=warn $ LD_PRELOAD=./libbytehound.so ./your_application |

What I'm after is to plug it in every run of the benchmarks in pyperformance https://github.com/python/pyperformance. It seems like the steps to achieve this are:

1. Fork pyperf https://github.com/psf/pyperf, since it is the actual benchmark-running engine.
2. Modify pyperf so as to make command prepending possible somehow.
3. Install this modified pyperf.
4. Install pyperformance on top of the modified pyperf.

I do not have the knowledge or experience to tackle step 2 on my own. Could I have your opinion on the whole endeavor, and maybe some advice?

Thanks a lot, Christos Lamprakos
