If __enter__() returns self (as is recommended when you don't have
anything more context specific to return), then the following would
also work:

  with cProfile.Profile() as profile:
      do_something()

  profile.dump_stats(filename)

Assuming the re-entrancy question can be answered adequately, this
sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

Cheers,
Nick.
