:mod:`hotshot` --- High performance logging profiler
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: hotshot
|
|
:synopsis: High performance logging profiler, mostly written in C.
|
|
.. moduleauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au>
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.2
|
|
|
|
This module provides a nicer interface to the :mod:`_hotshot` C module. Hotshot
|
|
is a replacement for the existing :mod:`profile` module. As it's written mostly
|
|
in C, it should result in a much smaller performance impact than the existing
|
|
:mod:`profile` module.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`hotshot` module focuses on minimizing the overhead while profiling, at
|
|
the expense of long data post-processing times. For common usage it is
|
|
recommended to use :mod:`cProfile` instead. :mod:`hotshot` is not maintained and
|
|
might be removed from the standard library in the future.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 2.5
|
|
The results should be more meaningful than in the past: the timing core
|
|
contained a critical bug.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`hotshot` profiler does not yet work well with threads. It is useful to
|
|
use an unthreaded script to run the profiler over the code you're interested in
|
|
measuring if at all possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Profile(logfile[, lineevents[, linetimings]])
|
|
|
|
The profiler object. The argument *logfile* is the name of a log file to use for
|
|
logged profile data. The argument *lineevents* specifies whether to generate
|
|
events for every source line, or just on function call/return. It defaults to
|
|
``0`` (only log function call/return). The argument *linetimings* specifies
|
|
whether to record timing information. It defaults to ``1`` (store timing
|
|
information).

Profile Objects
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Profile objects have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.addinfo(key, value)
|
|
|
|
Add an arbitrary labelled value to the profile output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.close()
|
|
|
|
Close the logfile and terminate the profiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.fileno()
|
|
|
|
Return the file descriptor of the profiler's log file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.run(cmd)
|
|
|
|
Profile an :keyword:`exec`\ -compatible string in the script environment. The
|
|
globals from the :mod:`__main__` module are used as both the globals and locals
|
|
for the script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.runcall(func, *args, **keywords)
|
|
|
|
Profile a single call of a callable. Additional positional and keyword arguments
|
|
may be passed along; the result of the call is returned, and exceptions are
|
|
allowed to propagate cleanly, while ensuring that profiling is disabled on the
|
|
way out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.runctx(cmd, globals, locals)
|
|
|
|
Evaluate an :keyword:`exec`\ -compatible string in a specific environment. The
|
|
string is compiled before profiling begins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.start()
|
|
|
|
Start the profiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Profile.stop()
|
|
|
|
Stop the profiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using hotshot data
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. module:: hotshot.stats
|
|
:synopsis: Statistical analysis for Hotshot
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.2
|
|
|
|
This module loads hotshot profiling data into the standard :mod:`pstats` Stats
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: load(filename)
|
|
|
|
Load hotshot data from *filename*. Returns an instance of the
|
|
:class:`pstats.Stats` class.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Example Usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Note that this example runs the python "benchmark" pystones. It can take some
|
|
time to run, and will produce large output files. ::
|
|
|
|
>>> import hotshot, hotshot.stats, test.pystone
|
|
>>> prof = hotshot.Profile("stones.prof")
|
|
>>> benchtime, stones = prof.runcall(test.pystone.pystones)
|
|
>>> prof.close()
|
|
>>> stats = hotshot.stats.load("stones.prof")
|
|
>>> stats.strip_dirs()
|
|
>>> stats.sort_stats('time', 'calls')
|
|
>>> stats.print_stats(20)
