You're right, I did it with hotshot, I did not paste the right link,
sorry. The right one should be:

http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree

Both profiles (cProfile and hotshot) formats are usable with
kcachegrind, but you have to convert first the profiles, so it is not as
integrated as if everything was in python. It does give you information
similar as matlab, which is one thing I missed from matlab too when I
started using python.
