No output from pycharm profiling when running a Flask container

Question

Running PyCharm 4.5.3 Build #141.1899 Professional Edition and licensed. I run a Flask app using the profiler command using a configuration similar to:

python app.py

which looks like:

def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__, static_folder='static')
app.register_blueprint(
    consumer_v1.bp,
    url_prefix='/consumer/v1')
return app

app = create_app()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port=5001)

When I goto "Run -> Profile App" I see the following on the console:

   /Users/james/.virtualenvs/trustmile-api/bin/python   /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/profiler/run_profiler.py 127.0.0.1 49537 /Users/james/Documents/workspace/trustmile-backend/trustmile/api_stubs/api_stubs/__init__.py

However nothing is shown in the UI as shown below.

Any help greatly appreciated.

To fix this I simply installed yappi instead of the default python profiler.

pip install yappi

I hope this works for you too!
