That means no more than "the profiler executed all of your code once, it took 0.01 seconds inside the execfile itself, 0.01 seconds per execution, total time spent by the execfile *and* what it called was 1.28 seconds ("cum" == "cumulative"), again 1.28 secs per execution" So ignore that and look at the figures for the app functions/methods. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
