Treemap visualisation view for Python profiler output?

Question

Is there a profiler for Python that can render something like Kcachegrind's Callee map view?

kcachegrind Callee Map View

This is freaking cool. I guess you could do something like this by parsing an existing profiler's output and fiddling a bit with `pygame` or any other 2D graphics library. No idea if anyone already did that. — , May 26 '11 at 17:46
Yeah, our brain's 'GPU' may be better with percentage visualisations than processing numbers. — Luke Stanley, May 27 '11 at 02:53
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1896032/ on how to use cProfile with python and kCacheGrind. — Harley Holcombe, Jun 26 '11 at 10:32

This has been replaced by https://jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz/ I think. – Andreas Mueller Jul 15 '18 at 21:07

If you are on Ubuntu (or have access to a host) you can convert the Python hotshot profiler's output into a form that KCachegrind can read. Check out the kcachegrind-converters package hotshot2calltree command.

Here are some pages which reference using it for Python profiling:
