I get the following error using a fresh install of pypy 7.2 and vmprof 0.4.15 on ubuntu 18.04 running under windows subsystem on linux

(venv3.6_pypy3_7_2) scott@DESKTOP-PRTO29B:~$ python -m vmprof --web test.py

I met the same problem, have you solved it ?

[scottbecker]

No but you could try wsl 2 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-install . I think this is generally available in mid may with the win 10, 2004 release
