Ah, the moment of truth.. :-)  Well, uh, no.  I didn't know puremodule 
existed, so I didn't give it a try.  It seems like something that would 
be of use, though, so I'd hate to see it go away.  A cursory look at 
the code indicates that it may need some updating (have to try...the 
API may not have actually changed significantly).  I'm actually more 
interested in it from the Quantify side of things from the standpoint 
of being able to provide the user a single look at their application 
profiling data from both a C and Python perspective.
