There is documentation on the output of valgrind (i.e. the input of
kcachegrind) at section "output" in
http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/do..._techdocs.html
For optimal use of kcachegrind, one needs also the "calltree skin" for
valgrind that outputs an augmented file for kcachegrind. But I did not
find any doc on this augmented format...
I think that even without the calltree plugin, kcachegrind could be
used advantageously for profiling python code.

I've been using visualization of profile output as input to develop my
first pyGTK application, but if the input format read by kcachegrind was
well documented it would be a trivial task to get profile output in the
correct format. Do you know whether it is well documented?

Hi,
I am using the profile module to watch hot spots in a python
application.
The default output is already useful but has anyone tried to produce
output readable by kcachegrind (http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/) ?
