Description     : visualise Python cProfile data with this kcachegrind converter

 Pyprof2calltree converts cProfile data into a format that is
 consumable by kcachegrind and qcachegrind for graphical calltree
 analysis.  This combination provides similar capabilities to Snakeviz
 or RunSnakeRun.
 .
 Pyprof2calltree is an adaptation of lsprofcalltree.py, by David
 Allouche, Jp Calderone, Itamar Shtull-Trauring, and Johan Dahlin.  It
 has been adapted to behave more like scripts in the
 kcachegrind-converters package.  One of the authors' objectives is
 for pyprof2calltree to become part of the official upstream kdesdk
 package.
 .
 This package installs the library for Python 3.

I am packaging this because of the cProfile visualisers Elpy (Emacs
IDE for Python) supports: one displays in a browser, RunSnakeRune is
Python 2 only, which leaves this package.  IMHO it's the most
desirable, but I have a KDE bias.

As I'm already on the QT/KDE Team and upstream intents to eventually
merge it into kdesdk, I believe the KDE Extras project is probably the
most appropriate place for it.  I will need a sponsor for the initial
upload.
