Aprofiler

Unlike the others python profilers, this one is dedicated to profile your application logic. You can emit(push/pop) events, or marks with information. When you stop, the profiler will generate a json with all the events. You can then generate HTML graphics out of it.

Let's say you got something like::

def my_app_update():
	if something_happened:
		foo += 1
	do_stuff()
	do_more_stuff()

You want to be able to see how much time is spent in both do_stuff and do_more_stuff, and maybe within then. So you can change your application code to include a profiler::

from aprofiler import profiler
profiler.start()

def my_app_update():
	profiler.push('mainloop')

	if something_happen:
		foo += 1
		profiler.mark('something happened, foo is now', foo)

	profiler.push('do_stuff')
	do_stuff()
	profiler.pop('do_stuff')

	profiler.push('do_more_stuff')
	do_more_stuff()
	profiler.pop('do_more_stuff')

	profiler.pop('mainloop')

# at the end
profiler.stop()

When the profiler stop, it will generate a .json with all the events generated.

Now you can create your own converter to generate cool graphics. Have a look at example to see how we used in the Kivy project:
