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.
