Hi.
If you try to use cProfile on Linux you just get an ImportError cos the lacking os _lsprof module.
>>> import cProfile
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "X/cProfile.py", line 9, in <module>
ImportError: No module named '_lsprof'
This work on Windows as far as I know, not sure about Mac OS X
