Long-time Icon developer Clinton Jeffery gave a presentation on this topic at PyCon 2005: Profiling and Visualizing Python Program Behavior <http://www.python.org/pycon/2005/papers/49/PyCon2005ProfilingandVisualizing.pdf> It was a delight for me to meet him there, since I was an Icon programmer before Python existed ;-) He had some impressive preliminary CPython visualization results, which required (a) a lot of work, and (b) some modest changes to the core interpreter. Alas, I haven't heard more about it since then. If I were you, I'd ask Dr. Jeffery what became of that project. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
