Have you tried this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1896032/using-cprofile-results-with-kcachegrind
This uses Qcachegrind to display cProfile data. Hope I didn't hijack your thread, but I have been trying to understand what function cycles mean. I had read that valgrind tries to simulate a processor while running. Can someone please shed some light about cycles in cachegrind with python cProfile data?
