The tracemalloc module is a debug tool to trace memory blocks allocated by Python. It provides the following information:

  • Traceback where an object was allocated
  • Statistics on allocated memory blocks per filename and per line number: total size, number and average size of allocated memory blocks
  • Compute the differences between two snapshots to detect memory leaks
