[New-bugs-announce] [issue25726] sys.setprofile / sys.getprofile asymetry

[Stefan Seefeld]

New submission from Stefan Seefeld:

I'm using the `cProfile` module to profile my code.

I tried to temporarily disable the profiler by using:

  prof = sys.getprofile()
  sys.setprofile(None)
  ...
   sys.setprofile(prof)

resulting in an error.

The reason is that with `cProfile`, `sys.getprofile` returns the profile object itself, which isn't suitable as argument for `sys.setprofile` (which expects a callable).

Notice that if I use the `profile` module instead of `cProfile`, the above works fine.
