Does anybody know the current state of hotshot? I read on some of the twisted mailing lists a while back that someone tried it but had some problems (can't remember what off the top of my head...have to search the archives), and was wondering if it was regarded as complete (and if there was any documentation that talks about how the code coverage aspect is supposed to be used).
HotShot has had some attention, and has been found useful, but I don't think of it as really finished.
What's missing from hotshot is a little script that makes it possible to use hotshot from the command line (just like profile.py), i.e. something like this: import sys, os.path, hotshot, hotshot.stats prof = hotshot.Profile("hotshot.prof") filename = sys.argv[1] del sys.argv[0] sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(filename)) prof.run("execfile(%r)" % filename) prof.close() stats = hotshot.stats.load("hotshot.prof") stats.sort_stats("time", "calls") stats.print_stats() The biggest problem I had with hotshot is the filesize. I was using the above script to profile a script which normally runs for about 10-15 minutes. After ca. 20 minutes the size of hotshot.prof was over 1 gig. Is there any possibility to reduce the filesize? Bye, Walter Dörwald
