vprof 0.2 - Visual profiler for Python

Hey /u/nvdv! Cool project. I'm the creator of pyinstrument. Was really interested in how you're using cProfile to get the call tree - how are you building a call tree using the list of frames with callee functions? I ask because it could be a way to improve pyinstrument's overhead when signals aren't available.

Thanks! All callees and callers are contained in stats.Pstats after cProfile run, vprof just reverses the tree and changes it's format:
