Hi!

Would it be possible for gprofng to support tracing Python?

In Python 3.12, better `perf` support was added via trampolines [0]. But I
_think_ the PEP669 mechanism [1] which added the sys.monitoring API [2] might
be a good fit.

I'm not sure how gprofng's tracing of e.g. Java works (I took a very brief look
but I'm no expert on Java), so if this isn't feasible, WONTFIX is fine.
