httpxprof

A tool for profiling HTTPX using cProfile and SnakeViz. No maintenance intended.

Installation

• Install the version of HTTPX you'd like to profile against.
• Install this tool using pip:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/florimondmanca/httpxprof#egg=httpxprof

Usage

# Run one of the built-in profiling cases:
httpxprof run async_client

# View results:
httpxprof view async_client

You can also:

• Run your profiling cases by passing Python scripts — useful to profile other HTTP client libraries.
• Profile against an HTTPS server using the --https option.

# aiohttp_single.py
import aiohttp
import ssl

import httpxprof


async def main(config: httpxprof.Config) -> None:
    ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context(cafile=config.client_cert())
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        for _ in config.requests():
            async with session.get(config.url, ssl=ssl_context):
                pass

httpxprof run --https aiohttp_session.py
httpxprof view aiohttp_session.py

You can ask for --help on httpxprof and any of the subcommands.
