I don't know what kind of programs you write, so I can easily go wrong. 
But... to speak of profiling when using python seems to me a nonsense.
I think the following and, I repeat, I could be wrong. You can teach to me.

If a program does networking, database, or uses complex libraries, then 
the bottleneck is almost always outside the program itself. So it makes 
little difference in using python, gambas or assembler. If the program 
does intense computation, then it is a nonsense to use interpreted 
languages. So I ask again: what kind of program you write? We can take 
gambas for example. It has wonderful graphics, superb database 
capabilities, networking libraries and all the rest. For average 
applications, there is little speed difference between a gambas one and 
a C++ compiled one. Well. Try to write a CAD program, a word processor 
(a serious one), a sound or image editor with gambas, and you will find 
a hard life. The power of todays CPUs hides the burden, but it is still 
there. So I really don't understand. That's all.
