> These patches are the result of work that we have done in profiling
> Stackless Python server applications at runtime, but they apply just as well
> to C Python.
>
> The first patch makes _lsprof, the engine behind cProfile, multi-stack
> aware.  This allows the same cProfiler.Profile() instance to be active on
> multiple python threads and still meaningful information is gathered.

> The second patch allows to set the trace/profile function in python *
> globally*, so that all threads are affected.  This is essential if you
> want to take a profililng snapshot of a running application.
