Introduction and usage of two Python memory detection tools

When I wrote a program last year, I was not sure about my memory usage. I wanted to find a write tool to print the memory usage of the program or function.
Here, we will record the basic usage of the two memory detection tools we found last time. It is also necessary to analyze the memory usage of the Python program in the future.

Memory_profiler module (used with psutil)
Note: I like psutil, which implements the main functions of many Linux commands, such as ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free.
Sample Code (https://github.com/smilejay/python/blob/master/py2014/mem_profile.py ):

Copy codeThe Code is as follows:
#! /Usr/bin/env python

From memory_profiler import profile
From memory_profiler import memory_usage
Import time

 
@ Profile
Def my_func ():
A = [1] * (10 ** 6)
B = [2] * (2*10 ** 7)
Del B
Return

 
Def cur_python_mem ():
Mem_usage = memory_usage (-1, interval = 0.2, timeout = 1)
Return mem_usage

 
Def f (a, n = 100 ):
Time. sleep (1)
B = [a] * n
Time. sleep (1)
Return B

If _ name _ = '_ main __':
A = my_func ()
Print cur_python_mem ()
Print ""
Print memory_usage (f, (1,), {'N': int (1e6)}), interval = 0.5)

Run the above Code and the output result is:

Guppy (Heapy used)
Guppy is an umbrella package combining Heapy and GSL with support utilities such as the Glue module that keeps things together.
Sample Code (https://github.com/smilejay/python/blob/master/py2014/try_guppy.py ):

Copy codeThe Code is as follows:
#! /Usr/bin/env python

From guppy import hpy

A = [8] * (10 ** 6)

H = hpy ()
Print h. heap ()
Print h. heap (). more
Print h. heap (). more. more

Note that more information is output in. more usage.
Run the above program and the output result is:

In addition, there is also a memory profiling called "PySizer", but it is not maintained.
