When I looked at #7372 I wasn't able to find out why it might receive two different objects and not always the same (i.e. always a tuple, possibly with only one int). From the first message it seems that cProfile returns the tuple of 4 ints and profile returns a single int.

Ah interesting.  I ran into this recently when I noticed that some
analysis tools I'd written a while back no longer worked and had to be
updated because data that were ints were now tuples.

Aside from these particular issues, it would be really great if the
profiler stats data structure was specified. :)
