AttributeError: 'ellipsis' object has no attribute 'items'

I encountered this when trying to run

gprof2dot -f pstats <file>

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ajamato/.local/bin/gprof2dot", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

Unfortunately I can't share the file. I am not sure if its related to the input files or not. But if you have any ideas what to look for I can look at the file and share findings to help debug

From pip list: gprof2dot 2021.2.21

I also did try to load the sample pstat files on this repro, but got this error as well. Perhaps there is some reason this version can't process those files?

gprof2dot -f pstats cProfile.pstats 
error: failed to load cProfile.pstats, maybe they are generated by different python version?
gprof2dot -f pstats profile.pstats 
error: failed to load profile.pstats, maybe they are generated by different python version?

I also downloaded the standalone version and got that error as well

~/gprof2dot.py -f pstats profile.pstats 
error: failed to load profile.pstats, maybe they are generated by different python version?

/usr/bin/env python3 --version
Python 3.9.2

The only explanation I see is different Python versions. If you used Python 2 when capturing the stat files, then try invoking gprof2dot as

python2 gprof2dot.py -f pstats cProfile.pstats
