I just noticed that cProfile (like profile) prints to stdout. Yuck. I guess that's to be expected because the pstats module does the actual printing and it's used by both modules. I'm willing to give up backward compatibility to achieve a little more sanity and flexibility here. I propose rewriting the necessary bits to att a stream= keyword argument where necessary and using stream.write(...) or print >> stream, ... instead of the current bare print. I'd prefer the default for the stream be sys.stderr as well.

Probably related:
