26.5. "hotshot" --- High performance logging profiler
*****************************************************

버전 2.2에 추가.

This module provides a nicer interface to the "_hotshot" C module.
Hotshot is a replacement for the existing "profile" module. As it's
written mostly in C, it should result in a much smaller performance
impact than the existing "profile" module.

주석: The "hotshot" module focuses on minimizing the overhead while
  profiling, at the expense of long data post-processing times. For
  common usage it is recommended to use "cProfile" instead. "hotshot"
  is not maintained and might be removed from the standard library in
  the future.

버전 2.5으로 변경: The results should be more meaningful than in the
past: the timing core contained a critical bug.

주석: The "hotshot" profiler does not yet work well with threads. It
  is useful to use an unthreaded script to run the profiler over the
  code you're interested in measuring if at all possible.

class hotshot.Profile(logfile[, lineevents[, linetimings]])

   The profiler object. The argument *logfile* is the name of a log
   file to use for logged profile data. The argument *lineevents*
   specifies whether to generate events for every source line, or just
   on function call/return. It defaults to "0" (only log function
   call/return). The argument *linetimings* specifies whether to
   record timing information. It defaults to "1" (store timing
   information).


26.5.1. Profile Objects
=======================

Profile objects have the following methods:

Profile.addinfo(key, value)

   Add an arbitrary labelled value to the profile output.

Profile.close()

   Close the logfile and terminate the profiler.

Profile.fileno()

   Return the file descriptor of the profiler's log file.

Profile.run(cmd)

   Profile an "exec"-compatible string in the script environment. The
   globals from the "__main__" module are used as both the globals and
   locals for the script.

Profile.runcall(func, *args, **keywords)

   Profile a single call of a callable. Additional positional and
   keyword arguments may be passed along; the result of the call is
   returned, and exceptions are allowed to propagate cleanly, while
   ensuring that profiling is disabled on the way out.

Profile.runctx(cmd, globals, locals)

   Evaluate an "exec"-compatible string in a specific environment. The
   string is compiled before profiling begins.

Profile.start()

   Start the profiler.

Profile.stop()

   Stop the profiler.


26.5.2. Using hotshot data
==========================

버전 2.2에 추가.

This module loads hotshot profiling data into the standard "pstats"
Stats objects.

hotshot.stats.load(filename)

   Load hotshot data from *filename*. Returns an instance of the
   "pstats.Stats" class.

26.5.3. Example Usage
=====================

Note that this example runs the Python "benchmark" pystones.  It can
take some time to run, and will produce large output files.

   >>> import hotshot, hotshot.stats, test.pystone
   >>> prof = hotshot.Profile("stones.prof")
   >>> benchtime, stones = prof.runcall(test.pystone.pystones)
   >>> prof.close()
   >>> stats = hotshot.stats.load("stones.prof")
   >>> stats.strip_dirs()
   >>> stats.sort_stats('time', 'calls')
   >>> stats.print_stats(20)
