pr.enable()
my_func()   # the code I want to profile
pr.disable()
pr.print_stat

You don't really need StringIO, as a file qualifies as a stream.

import pstats

with open("profilingStatsAsText.txt", "w") as f:
    ps = pstats.Stats("profilingResults.cprof", stream=f)
    ps.sort_stats('cumulative')
    ps.print_stats()
