How override ALL function calls? (Is there a "function call function"?)
 

I'm trying run a homegrown profiler on some Python code.

Rather than apply profiler wrapper to ALL functions by hand....

Is there a low level Python function I can override to modify

how ALL functions are called?

Yes, please take a look at sys.setprofile().

You may want to look at

>>> import sys
>>> help(sys.settrace)
Help on built-in function settrace in module sys:

settrace(...)
settrace(function)

Set the global debug tracing function. It will be called on each
function call. See the debugger chapter in the library manual.
