The docs for module 'profile' refer to 'profile.Stats', which look like: def Stats(*args): print 'Report generating functions are in the "pstats" module\a' This is true in older Python versions, as well as 2.5a2: http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/module-profile.html Suggestion: have the documentation point to pstats.Stats instead, and possibly remove the placeholder 'Stats' in module profile, or have it raise an exception instead of printing an error.

Logged In: YES user_id=1131251 A correction - the docs do refer to the 'this class from the pstats module', but this easily missed by someone skipping carefully reading the preamble text (like me :-/ ) You could say this is PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair), but I suggest it's a common phenomenon meaning the pointer to module 'pstats' should be more prominent.
