Python Profiling Starter Kit

Examples for Python Profiling Starter Kit presentation, given at Montréal-Python on March 22nd, 2021. The profilers covered were Pyinstrument, Scalene, Py-Spy, and VizTracer. The Makefile shows an example or two for how to run each of these profilers.

Usage

We assume you already have a recent version of Python (say, 3.9) and Pipenv installed. Then, in a command-line, run:

1. pipenv install — to install all the tools
2. make pyinstrument — for example, to run Pyinstrument on the sample slow_program.py and output its report.
