Line Profiler Pycharm

Code to create .pclprof files which can be read by the PyCharm Line Profiler plugin.

Project heavily relies on the python line-profiler plugin.

This package can be used by the PyCharm Line Profiler plugin to profile code and visualize the resulting profiles.

The package exposes a decorator profile that can be used to create .pclprof files. These files are nothing more than json exports of the line-profiler .lprof files. These files can be read by the Pycharm Line Profiler plugin.

Example

The .pclprof files can be generated by decorating any function with the profile decorator

For example:

# profile_this.py
from line_profiler_pycharm import profile 

import time

@profile
def profile_this():    
    time.sleep(1)
    time.sleep(2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    profile_this()

If you run this code:

python profile_this.py

A file profile_this.py.pclprof will be generated in your current working directory.
