I'm working on a piece of software that uses PyQt and PyOpenGL for drawing acceleration. While profiling it to find opportunities to speed things up, I got this from the profiler:
ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function) 12108/12084 55.390 0.005 55.390 0.005 :0(getattr) 2934 0.430 0.000 1.240 0.000 files_mmp.py:344(_read_atom) 1 0.310 0.310 59.240 59.240 :0(exec_loop) 2934 0.210 0.000 0.310 0.000 chem.py:1774(best_atomtype_for_numbonds) 8737 0.150 0.000 0.190 0.000 :0(map) 2944 0.150 0.000 0.450 0.000 chem.py:288(__init__) ....more..... I assume ":0(getattr)" means a getattr function in either PyQt or PyOpenGL. I grepped the sources of both looking for getattr, and it doesn't appear in PyQt but appears frequently in PyOpenGL. Does anybody know if I am correct in my conclusion that most of the program's time is being spent in some getattr function in PyOpenGL?
