  Description     : Python wrapper for Austin, the CPython frame stack sampler

Austin is a Python frame stack sampler for CPython written in pure C. It
samples the stack traces of a Python application so that they can be
visualised and analysed. As such, it serves the basis for building powerful
profilers for Python.

This is a Python wrapper around Austin that provides convenience classes to
quickly develop your statistical profiling tools.


The austin package currently carries a patch to skip some tests that 
require this Python package, and I'd like to be able to drop that patch.  
More pressingly, I need to fix the RC bug 
https://bugs.debian.org/1140913; upstream recommended changing the smoke 
tests to an output file size check, but this would weaken the tests 
quite a bit.  The mojo2austin tool contained in this package would let 
me keep essentially the current smoke tests with only a small 
adjustment.

I plan to maintain this within the Debian Python team.
