How can I analyze cProfile data effectively?

You can analyze cProfile data by using the pstats module in Python to read and sort the profiling results.

What are the key metrics I should focus on?

Focus on metrics like total time, number of calls, and time per call to identify performance bottlenecks.

Can you show me a sample code snippet for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import cProfile
import pstats

cProfile.run('your_function()', 'output.prof')

p = pstats.Stats('output.prof')

p.sort_stats('cumulative').print_stats()

What tools can help visualize this data?

You can use tools like SnakeViz or Py-Spy to visualize cProfile data in a more user-friendly way.
