omniperf fails to perf a python based command line

[FabioLuporini]

I know that this has been reported internally but I thought it would be useful to leave a trace here on GitHub.

Reproducer:

omniperf profile -n devito_iso -- /global/home/ymmu/projects/devito-venv/bin/python devitopro/demos/iso_acoustic/run.py -d 512 512 512 -so 8 --nt 10 -opt "('advanced', {'par-tile': (32, 4, 4)})"

fails with:

<error trace continues>

If I remove the -opt "('advanced', {'par-tile': (32, 4, 4)})" part, then it works

Given the oddness in that command-line option we recommend you try putting the launch command in a wrapper script, then profile the resulting script. We found something like this wrapper.sh script did the trick

#!/bin/bash                                                                     

SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd -- "$( dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" &> /dev/null && pwd )

python3 $SCRIPT_DIR/run.py -d 512 512 512 -so 8 --nt 10 "--opt ('advanced', {'par-tile': (32, 4, 8)})"

then profiling wrapper.sh instead. Let us know if this resolves your issue @FabioLuporini.
