Interpreting python profiler results

[Will Ware]

I'm working on a piece of software that uses PyQt and PyOpenGL for
drawing acceleration. While profiling it to find opportunities to speed
things up, I got this from the profiler:

ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function)
12108/12084 55.390 0.005 55.390 0.005 :0(getattr)

2944 0.150 0.000 0.450 0.000 chem.py:288(__init__)
....more.....

I assume ":0(getattr)" means a getattr function in either PyQt or
PyOpenGL. I grepped the sources of both looking for getattr, and it
doesn't appear in PyQt but appears frequently in PyOpenGL. Does anybody
know if I am correct in my conclusion that most of the program's time
is being spent in some getattr function in PyOpenGL?

Thanks
