profile + threads?

[Dave Brueck]

Has anybody had problems using the profile module with threads?

This program:
----------------------------
	import profile

	def yo():
	    for j in range(5):
	        print j,

	profile.run('yo()')
----------------------------

displays:

0 1 2 3 4          3 function calls in 0.070 CPU seconds

   Ordered by: standard name

   ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)
        1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 <string>:1(?)
        1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000 p1.py:3(yo)
        0    0.000             0.000          profile:0(profiler)
        1    0.069    0.069    0.070    0.070 profile:0(yo())

but this version:

----------------------------
	import threading, profile, time

	def yo():
	    for j in range(5):
	        print j,

	def go():
	    threading.Thread(target=yo).start()
	    time.sleep(1)

	profile.run('go()')
----------------------------

displays:

0 1 2 3 4          14 function calls in 1.052 CPU seconds

   Ordered by: standard name

   ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)

        1    0.000    0.000    0.000    0.000
threading.py:516(currentThread)

The function yo() isn't mentioned anywhere. The single call to
threading.start shows up, but in the real program in which I'm seeing this
program has many threads, each of which calls many child functions, so I
can't rely on that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
