Kent,
Thank you.
That was just the kind of hint I needed. I will make sure to
look for objects inside imported packages in the future too; I missed
the Profile attribute when I first ran dir(profile) looking for
available functions.
In case you archive the full email threads, I have included a
copy of the working program for reference for future neophytes like
myself...
Cheers,
- Thane

def myProfileDecorator(function):
def newFunction(obj, *args, **keywords):
p = profile.Profile()
p.runcall(function, *args, **keywords)
p.print_stats()
return newFunction

class Foo:
@myProfileDecorator
def results(x):
spin = [x*x for x in range(2000000)]
print str(x) + " Done"
x = Foo()
print x.results("Almost")
