get_stats() return profiling data as dict()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. yappi.start()
2. output = yappi.get_stats()
3. type(output)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output: type(output) == type(dict)

Please provide any additional information below.
if output was of type dict, it would be much easier to iterate through data and 
we could among much else much easier commit profiling data to a sqlite3 
database for later use

In the current code, we used a structure like NamedTuple in code which is 
better than a dict IMHO. Example:

stats = get_func_stats()
print(stat.name)
