Description:
CPython standard distribution is coming with three profilers. cProfile, Profile
and hotshot. cProfile module is implemented as a C module based on lsprof,
Profile is in pure Python and the hotshot can be seen as a small subset of a
cProfile. The motivation to implement a new profiler is that all of these
profilers lacks the support of multi-threaded programs. If you want to profile
a multi-threaded application, you must give an entry point to these profilers
and then maybe merge the outputs. None of these profilers is designed to work
on long-running multi-threaded application. While implementing a game server,
it turns out that is is impossible to profile an application retrieve the
statistics then stop and then start later on on the fly(without affecting the
profiled application). With the experience of implementing a game server in
Python, we have identified most of the problems, tricky parts regarding
profiler usage and so, we have come up with simple but powerful requirements.
