Bug#1033593: spyder: does not allow running profiler and says "Please install the Python profiler modules"

[Patrick Zanon]

Package: spyder
Version: 5.4.2+ds-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: neant at libero.it


Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to use spyder's profiling tools, but when I try to run code with the
profiler, the menu item is greyed out. Also if I enable profiler pane display, 
Spyder says "Please install python profiler modules".

In my installation I have:
   * python3 which provides the python-profiler virtual package
   * python3-line-profiler
   * python3-p profile

If I try to run the "import cProfile" line it's fine with no errors; same goes 
if I run "import profile".

I would expect to be able to run the code from both the "Run - Run profiler" 
menu item, and to be able to add files in the profiler pane, but neither of 
those things happen.

Thanks
P.Z.
