I found a small hiccup:
When using py-spy with the -flame option, it also depends on Perl. Not having any Perl installation, trying to execute -flame netted me a "Could not execute Perl. File not found [oserror 2]" error. After installing Perl it functioned flawlessly.

Would be cool if this dependency could be mentioned in the readme to make troubleshooting easier.

good point! It should probably also mention that you need to install perl in the error message too if it's missing.
