Profiling

Profile your code with cProfile or Profile. pyprof2calltree won't work with hotshot. Store the profile data in a .pstats file.

$ python -m cProfile -o profile.pstats yourscript.py

Then run:

$ pyprof2calltree -i profile.pstats -o profile.kgrind

Then open this kgrind file with qcachegrind:

$ qcachegrind profile.kgrind
