Problem ------- On systems where `python` points to `python2` but `pip` points to `pip3`, `bin/flameprof` breaks because it runs python2 but the flameprof library is installed into python2's `site-packages`. Fix --- Instead of using `scripts` in `setup.py`, use the `console_scripts` entry point (https://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command-line-scripts.html). This will automatically create and install a `flameprof` script that works with python 2 or 3 (whichever pip is working with). In order to facilitate this, I created a `main` function in `flameprof.py`.

Would be great if this could be merged and a new release made. |
