A few year ago I wrote http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pyprof/
which set out to do what you want.  Unfortunately I've failed to
follow up on that since then.  If there's enough interest it might be
interesting to dust it off, get it up to date with python 2.5 and try
to get a package in Debian.
