profiling.sampling (Tachyon) gecko output: Only source file basename is shown

Bug report

When using the --gecko exporter for profiling.sampling, only the basename for source files is shown.

This means that to distinguish, for example, samples from __init__.py, the function name and surrounding context has to be read, which is rather unfortunate.

Related source lines:

cpython/Lib/profiling/sampling/gecko_collector.py

Line 620 in 4a9b981

filename_idx = self._intern_string(os.path.basename(filename))

cpython/Lib/profiling/sampling/gecko_collector.py

Lines 646 to 648 in 4a9b981

    
           resource_name = ( 
        
               os.path.basename(filename) if "/" in filename else filename 
        
           )

Tested on 3.15, but gecko exporter source code matches.
