Can you suggest any resources for learning about profiling in python? I'm just getting into scientific computing with numpy,scipy,etc. and I'd be interested to learn more.

I used timeit (http://docs.python.org/2/library/timeit.html), cProfile (http://docs.python.org/2/library/profile.html) and pycallgraph. There is a nice Q&A on this subject: http://stackoverflow.com/q/582336/343834.

Ian Ozsvald has a nice tutorial on high performance python, from profiling through cython and some multiprocessing and parallel techniques. You can find video and other materials here: http://ianozsvald.com/2012/03/18/high-performance-python-1-f...
