Directly using the :class:`Profile` class allows formatting profile results
without writing the profile data to a file::
- import cProfile, pstats, io
+ import cProfile, pstats, StringIO
pr = cProfile.Profile()
pr.enable()
- ... do something ...
+ # ... do something ...
pr.disable()
- s = io.StringIO()
- ps = pstats.Stats(pr, stream=s)
- ps.print_results()

+ ps = pstats.Stats(pr, stream=s).sort_stats(sortby)
+ ps.print_stats()
+ print s.getvalue()
