Visual profiler for Python
KCacheGrind relies on using valgrind, which gives you extremely detailed information on runtime information by wrapping your execution context at a very low level. For this reason, it can track individual memory allocations, function call statistics, etc. However, for Python, that can be a bit overkill; usually you're just looking to measure what parts of your code are taking up executing time and heap space.<p>This package uses cProfile, psutils, and pstats go get runtime information on your code as it's running. It's doing what valgrind does but in a much "higher-level" fashion, in pure Python. This means that it can give you more relevant information about your Python code.
