util for profiling python code mainly in django projects, but can be used also on ordinary python code

Project description

django-profiler is util for profiling python code mainly in django projects but can be used also on ordinary python code. It counts sql queries a measures time of code execution. It logs its output via standard python logging library and uses logger profiling. If your profiler name doesn’t contain any empty spaces e.g. Profiler(‘Profiler1’) django-profiler will log all the output to the profiling.Profiler logger. @profilehook decorator uses profilehooks python package to gather code execution stats. Except it logs via standard python logging it also outputs code execution stats directly to sys.stdout.

Requirements

  • python 2.7+

For more information see debian_requirements.txt and requirements.txt files.

Important notice

Due to packaging problem of python-profiler linux package on newest linux distributions, profilehooks in not an integral part of django-profiler package. profilehooks and python-profiler are not required to be installed. Without installing them you won’t be able to use @profilehook decorator, but you will be able to use django-profiler and it’s decorator nevertheless. To use profilehooks package you must install profilehooks python package and python-profiler linux package manually.

Installation

Install via pip or copy this module into your project or into your PYTHON_PATH.

Configuration

settings.py constants

PROFILING_LOGGER_NAME
PROFILING_SQL_QUERIES

It is possible to change default django-profiler logger name by defining PROFILING_LOGGER_NAME = ‘logger_name’ in your django settings.py.

To log also sql queries into profiler logger set PROFILING_SQL_QUERIES to True in your django settings.py module.

Examples

Example 1

Using context manager approach. Output will be logged to profiling logger.

from profiling import Profiler
with Profiler('Complex Computation'):
    # code with some complex computations

Example 2

Using context manager approach. Output will be logged to profiling.Computation logger.

from profiling import Profiler
with Profiler('Computation'):
    # code with some complex computations

Example 3

Using standard approach. Output will be logged to profiling logger.

from profiling import Profiler
profiler =  Profiler('Complex Computation')
profiler.start()
# code with some complex computations
profiler.stop()

Example 4

Using standard approach and starting directly in constructor. Output will be logged to profiling logger.

from profiling import Profiler
profiler =  Profiler('Complex Computation', start=True)
# code with some complex computations
profiler.stop()

Example 5

Using decorator approach. Output will be logged to profiling.complex_computations logger.

from profiling import profile

@profile
def complex_computations():
    #some complex computations

Example 6

Using decorator approach. Output will be logged to profiling.ComplexClass.complex_computations logger.

from profiling import profile

class ComplexClass(object):
    @profile
    def complex_computations():
        #some complex computations

Example 7

Using decorator approach. Output will be logged to profiling.complex_computations logger. profilehooks stats are outputted directly into sys.stdout.

from profiling import profilehook

@profilehook
def complex_computations():
    #some complex computations

Example 8

Using decorator approach. Output will be logged to profiling.ComplexClass.complex_computations logger. profilehooks stats are outputted directly into sys.stdout.

from profiling import profilehook

class ComplexClass(object)
   @profilehook
   def complex_computations():
       #some complex computations
