Summary: docs for 'profile' should refer to pstats.Stats
Initial Comment:
The docs for module 'profile' refer to 'profile.Stats',
which look like:
def Stats(*args):
print 'Report generating functions are in the
"pstats" module\a'
This is true in older Python versions, as well as 2.5a2:
http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/module-profile.html
Suggestion: have the documentation point to
pstats.Stats instead, and possibly remove the
placeholder 'Stats' in module profile, or have it raise
an exception instead of printing an error.

A correction - the docs do refer to the 'this class from the
pstats module', but this easily missed by someone skipping
carefully reading the preamble text (like me :-/ )
You could say this is PEBKAC (problem exists between
keyboard and chair), but I suggest it's a common phenomenon
meaning the pointer to module 'pstats' should be more prominent.
