OK. I believe the default should be stdout though, and the conveniece method print_stats() in profile.py should be the only place that references stderr. The smallest code mod would be to redirect stdout temporarily inside print_stats(); but I won't complain if you're more ambitious and modify pstats.py. def print_stats(self, sort=-1, stream=None): import pstats if stream is None: stream = sys.stderr save = sys.stdout try: if stream is not None: sys.stdout = stream pstats.Stats(self).strip_dirs().sort_stats(sort). \ print_stats() finally: sys.stdout = save -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
