Use Hotspot Analysis to profile python application using launch application profile scope. When the target executable is a path to python interpreter, the profiler will automatically initiate sample collections for the Python application alongside the Hotspot Analysis. The samples gathered by the Python Profiling Agent will include those from child processes and threads created by the targeted Python script.

Additionally, the Python Profiling Agent also supports profiling Python applications launched from shell scripts.
