cProfile inside a nested function

I am trying to profile a nested function using cProfile.run. I understand that perhaps cProfile isn't running at the same scope as where I am calling it, but I'm not quite sure what the idiomatic way to achieve this is. Here's an MVCE:

def foo():
    def bar():
        # do something here
        return 1
    cProfile.run('bar()')

Gives the error:

NameError: name 'bar' is not defined

Using cProfile.run

def foo():
    def bar():
        # do something here
        return 1
    cProfile.run(bar.__code__)

Use cProfile.runctx:

def foo():
    def bar():
        # do something here
        return 1
    cProfile.runctx('bar()', None, locals=locals())
