How do you read the .prof files generated by web2py's profiler?

If I run web2py with the -F option, it will generate a .prof file. How do I read the contents of this file? Hotshot doesn't appear to work (I tried RunSnakeRun as well).

snakeviz is a module/binary to view and generate cprofile .prof files. Recommended by the search engine. I really like its Sunburst plot.

Web2py uses cProfile; I found something that will load the cProfile generated file and spit out output to a webpage:

pip install cprofilev, then run cprofilev on the .prof file. Enjoy!
