How can I analyze a file created with pstats.dump_stats(filename) off line?

Here's what i found out and the Python program I generated. I tested this with a .dmp file made on linux & analyzed on windows xp. It worked FINE. The Python file is named, "analyze_dmp.py".

#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
"""analyze_dmp.py takes the file INFILEPATH [a pstats dump file] Producing OUTFILEPATH [a human readable python profile]
Usage:   analyze_dmp.py INFILEPATH  OUTFILEPATH
Example: analyze_dmp.py stats.dmp   stats.log

import sys, os
import cProfile, pstats, StringIO

    out_stream = open(myoutfilepath, 'w')
    ps = pstats.Stats(myinfilepath, stream=out_stream)
    sortby = 'cumulative'

    ps.strip_dirs().sort_stats(sortby).print_stats(.3)  # plink around with this to get the results you need

NUM_ARGS = 2
def main():
    args = sys.argv[1:]
    if len(args) != NUM_ARGS or "-h" in args or "--help" in args:
        print __doc__
        s = raw_input('hit return to quit')
        sys.exit(2)
    analyze_dmp(myinfilepath=args[0], myoutfilepath=args[1])

    main()

You can try snakeviz https://jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz

It is a browser based graphical viewer for the output of Python’s cProfile module and an alternative to using the standard library pstats module.

# to install it with pip
pip install snakeviz

# once installed, you can use snakeviz to view the file
snakeviz /path/to/your/dump/pstat/file

Here is a sample image for a visualized pstat file you can dump like above.
