I think that rope has something like that; not really sure though.

You may well see some of these suggestions in the meanwhile, but so far it
seems you've had no nibbles.)

You can probably write a source transformation tool to decorate all
functions (or just use Emacs macros for a 99% solution which takes a lot
less time).

2. Look at tools like pdb. You might be able to add a new command to
decorate a function in much the same way that you might set a breakpoint
at a given function.

3. Take a look at IDEs with source (like IDLE). You might be able to coax
them into decorating functions then display the collected statistics when
you view the source (maybe display a tooltip with the stats for a
particular function).
