understanding spyder's profiler results python

I'm using python 2.7.11 and spyder's (v2.3.8) profiler, but I have trouble understanding the results. This is an image of the results ordered by "Total Time"

enter image description here

I have 2 questions:

1) mainloop uses 216.012 Total Time. How can I know what part/line of my code is calling those functions?

2) In the function noise_kauff (wich I defined) Total Time is 20.51 but the first line inside noise_kauff uses 51.629?

Note that the time and call values shown by [spyder-profiler] are global to the execution of the program and not specific to a particular call. Because of this, some functions/methods may show longer times than their callers.

In your example, presumably __getitem__ ran for about ten seconds from within noise_kauff plus for about half a minute from elsewhere. Unfortunately spyder just adds those together - it's a known issue/bug.
