How can I use cProfile for advanced performance analysis?

You can use cProfile to measure the time spent in each function of your Python code. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

import cProfile

def my_function():
    # Your code here
    pass

cProfile.run('my_function()')

This will give you a detailed report of the function's performance.

What if I want to save the profiling results to a file?

You can save the results to a file using the -o option in the command line or by using cProfile.Profile in your code. Would you like to see how?

Yes, show me how to save it to a file.

You can do it like this:

import cProfile

profiler = cProfile.Profile()
profiler.enable()
my_function()
profiler.disable()
profiler.dump_stats('profile_results.prof')

This will save the profiling data to 'profile_results.prof'.
