subprocesses

Hi - this is an excellent little profiling tool.

I am wondering if it is possible for snakeviz to trace into subprocesses that may have been spawned during execution of a cell?

Snakeviz isn't doing the actual profiling, it's only a viewer for profile data created by the cProfile module. If your subprocess is Python code you could potentially manually add profiling to that code (see example in the docs), but it wouldn't be profiled along with the other parts of your cell, you'd need to separately launch snakeviz to look at that profile output. If your subprocess is not Python then some other profiling tool would be required and you wouldn't be able to use snakeviz.

Thanks - appreciate the comment, and the link to the example.
