Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python-pprofile Version : 1.9.1 Upstream Author : Vincent Pelletier <plr.vinc...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/vpelletier/pprofile/releases * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : Deterministic and statistic per-line profiler for Python
Line-granularity, thread-aware deterministic and statistic pure-python profiler. Line granularity allows locating precisely where time is spent in code. Thread awareness automatically propagates profiling to all threads (all threads in statistic mode, or threads spawned by profiled code in deterministic mode). Deterministic profiling gives precise measures, but at a large speed cost (best used on minimal test scenarii). Statistic profiling gives rough measure, but has an extremely low overhead (suitable for live code profiling). Does not require marking methods to profile, allowing non-method profiling (module imports, class & function declarations and other module-level code). Can produce callgrind output. Dear future maintainer, I am not totally satisfied with above long description: on one hand I feel reading it would help me choose which package to install, but on the other hand it feels like repeating the documentation. I can help rewriting it if needed, with some guidelines/suggestions. The resulting package should recommend/suggest kcachegrind, as it is useful to view produced callgrind output.
