Comment on Python: Tprof, a Targeting Profiler

Comments

This looke incredibly helpful! Not sure if I hust haven't come across the right tools yet, but I always find performance monitoring in python very tricky.

There aren't any tools I know of, that meet the standard of say coverage, where they're easy to use for beginners and meet 90% of use cases.

OP here. Thanks.

Yeah, profilers are very varied in Python, and none are super easy. I often use either cProfile + pstats (per this post: https://adamj.eu/tech/2025/05/20/python-quick-cprofile-recip...), cProfile + gprof2dot (per this post: https://adamj.eu/tech/2024/03/23/django-optimizing-system-ch... ) or py-spy. I'm excited for "tachyon", the sampling profiler coming in Python 3.15.
