Profiling: Interactive Python profiler

• Monkeyget 12y ago
  Great project! I've done some python code optimization recently and I was fairly disappointed in the profiling options; more precisely the profiling visualization options. Standard python provides pstats, which is basic and has an awkward command based GUI. I've tried runsnakerun and snakevis which do provide a nice graphical view but little else. Easy to use, hierarchical list, clear output. I like this. I never used live profiling before and I can already see where it could be super handy. Remarks: -how do I pass arguments to my program. profiling seems to absorb all parameters -Is it possible to access standard input/output when live profiling? -Is it possible to reset the profiling statistics when live profiling? Eg.: I profile a webserver, profile a request, reset stats, profile another request,... -I'd love to see an integration with IPython. Interactive optimization could be great: I profile some code, tweak it, profile again,...

    There is lsprofcalltree which will use normal cProfile and give you output suitable for kcachegrind (which is awesome)

    For IPython-based profiling, I find the %timeit and %memit magic commands invaluable. This post has a good overview: http://pynash.org/2013/03/06/timing-and-profiling.html http://pynash.org/2013/03/06/timing-and-profiling.html

  Looks cool, but I don't understand the remote profiling server. Does that mean profiling server code on requests or is it a server that can let you view profiling results?
