[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Lib profile.py,1.26,1.27

[Jeremy Hylton]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv7855/Lib

Modified Files:
	profile.py 
Log Message:
Add doc string for run from profile.doc.  (pydoc motivates me to write
good doc strings.) 

Fix silly argument handling; was using *args but really wanted 1
optional arg.

XXX Should profile.doc be merged into the documentation and removed
from the Lib directory?
