              can have multiple exclude arguments

       --include-timing

EXAMPLES
       Create a call graph called pycallgraph.png on myprogram.py:

              pycallgraph ./myprogram.py

       Create a call graph of a standard Python installation script with
       command line parameters:

              pycallgraph --output-file=setup.png -- setup.py --dry-run
              install

       Only see the module "distutils" within the execution of easy_install:
