[New-bugs-announce] [issue34861] Improve cProfile standard output

[Anders Hovmöller]

New submission from Anders Hovmöller <boxed at killingar.net>:

The standard output for cProfile when run from a command line is not very useful. It has two main flaws:

- Default sort order is by name of function
- It strips the full path of source files

The first makes it very hard to look at the output. The second is very annoying when you get a bunch of __init__.py in the output.

Suggested solution:

- Default cumulative time sort order
- Show one additional folder level when filename is __main__ or __init__
