How about len(sys.modules) for one metric. The actual new module(s) introduced would be more useful than the fact that a system call count went up. User and wall time should be monitored as well, but aren't as stable. I plan to make a patchbot plugin that lists any new modules that are imported due to a ticket. - Robert -- -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
