Analyzer py-excep-fgraph

# Name

py-excep-fgraph - Python-Land Exception Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles exception handling in Python applications by capturing stack traces when exceptions are raised. It tracks the frequency and location of exception occurrences across different code paths. The analyzer generates flame graphs that visualize exception distribution, helping identify error-prone code sections, excessive exception usage, and opportunities to improve error handling in Python applications.
