One of the lesser known features of the memory_profiler package is its ability to plot memory consumption as a function of time. This was implemented by my friend Philippe Gervais, previously a colleague at INRIA and now at Google.
With …
As part of the development of memory_profiler I've tried several ways to get memory usage of a program from within Python. In this post I'll describe the different alternatives I've tested.
psutil is a python library that provides an interface for retrieving information on running processes. It …
Besides performing a line-by-line analysis of memory consumption,
memory_profiler
exposes some functions that allow to retrieve the memory consumption
of a function in real-time, allowing e.g. to visualize the memory
consumption of a given function over time.
The function to be used is memory_usage. The first argument
specifies what …
My newest project is a Python library for monitoring memory consumption of arbitrary process, and one of its most useful features is the line-by-line analysis of memory usage for Python code. I wrote a basic prototype six months ago after being surprised by the lack of related tools. I wanted …
