Package: bredala
ContentsOverviewUsagePerspectivesEasy to use pure-python caller signature and profiler.
Based on Pelletier’spprofile.OverviewWith Python’s standard profiling tools, it is not possible to tell
dynamically which function is a hot-spot. On top of that the resulting
execution ioutput is not filtered and the information of interest may be
difficult to find. Those drawbacks made me start ‘bredala’ which provide:A dynamic API to define which functions/methods to follow (based on the ‘New
Import Hooks’PEP0302.A signature mechanism that display the prototype of the called
function/method.A filtered profile to access quickly to the execution time of interest.UsageThe proposed module display function signatures and by default function line
profiles. The lattest option can be disabled:import bredala
bredala.USE_PROFILER = FalseAt the beginning of your script import the project and select which
functions/methods have to be profiled (it must be done before all imports):import bredala
