Floris is working on wrapping Hotshot to replace 'profile' and replacing pstats so that there will be no more need for 'profile' and thus take care of the licensing problem. He also hopes to make pstats faster to use. And if we are really lucky, get threading working for Hotshot.

Note that hotshot sometimes breaks inexplicably for traces that profile works fine on. If you aren't certain you can fix this, removing the pure-Python profiler is not an option.
