Feature request: strip prefix from filenames

See original GitHub issue

I tried using yappi on some code that is executed through Bazel and it was difficult to read the stats because the paths all begin with an identical, deep prefix. Something like this:

/home/user/.cache/bazel/_bazel_user/a1901621c7221d386cf4d8fa1b80a433/sandbox/sandboxfs/5/code/bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/path/in/project/target.runfiles/<the bit I actually care about starts here>

A --prefix or --strip-prefix option that would allow me to drop the predictable and repeated parts of file paths would be a help to be able to focus on the more interesting part at the end.

I see.

I agree that a bit of flexibility to filter some prefixes on the output would be useful. Will implement this in the next version! I still think --omit-sys-path might be a good improvement for some cases as well which will not be on by default(of course). Maybe I will implement both.

Again: Thanks for the idea!
