How do I use tracemalloc in Python?

What is tracemalloc and how can I use it in my Python projects?

Tracemalloc is a built-in Python library for tracking memory allocations. You can use it to identify memory leaks and optimize memory usage.

How do I start using tracemalloc in my code?

To start using tracemalloc, you need to import it and call tracemalloc.start(). This will begin tracking memory allocations.

Can you show me an example of how to use it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import tracemalloc

tracemalloc.start()

# Your code here

snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
for stat in snapshot.statistics('lineno'):
    print(stat)

What kind of information can I get from the tracemalloc snapshot?

You can get detailed statistics about memory usage, including the lines of code that allocated the most memory, helping you identify potential issues.
