cprofilev
An easier way to use cProfile.
about
cprofilev runs and profiles a given python program and outputs a simple html view of the statistics collected.
See: http://ymichael.com/2014/03/08/profiling-python-with-cprofile.html on how to make sense of the profiled statistics.
installation
on most UNIX-like systems, you'll probably need to run the following `install` command as root or by using sudo
pip install cprofilev
quickstart
- Simply run your python program in with the -m cprofilev flag.
$ python -m cprofilev /path/to/python/program ...
- Navigate to http://localhost:4000 to view profile statistics of your python program (even while its still running!)
Alternatively you can output view cprofile output using the -f flag:
# NOTE this is cProfile not cprofilev $ python -m cProfile -o /path/to/save/output /path/to/python/program ... $ cprofilev -f /path/to/save/output
usage
