[Python-Dev] What should we do with cProfile?

[Alexandre Vassalotti]

Hello,

As per PEP 3108, we were supposed to merge profile/cProfile into one
unified module. I initially championed the change, but other things got in
the way and I have never got to the point of a useful patch. I posted some
code and outlined an approach how the merge could be done. However, there
still a lot of details to be worked out.

So I wondering whether we should abandon the change all together or attempt
it for the next release. Personally, I slightly leaning on the former
option since the two modules are actually fairly different underneath even
though they are used similarly. And also, because it is getting late to
make such backward incompatible changes.

I am willing to volunteer to push the change though if it is still desired
by the community.

Cheers!
