python - cProfile not running

This seems like a problem with the pStats module and not the cProfile.

can you try doing

import pstats

If this says cannot import pstats, then try installing the python-profiler again. It comes with python itself but that might be messed up in your case IF pstats is not there.

It's a simple apt-get on linux, so I am assuming windows would have a separate binary for python-profiler too.

Hope this helps!
