How can I use memory_profiler in Python?

You can use the memory_profiler library to monitor memory usage in your Python scripts. First, install it using pip: pip install memory_profiler.

What are the main features of memory_profiler?

Memory_profiler allows you to track memory usage line by line, visualize memory consumption, and identify memory leaks.

Can you show me a simple example of how to use it?

Sure! Here’s a basic example:

from memory_profiler import profile

@profile
def my_function():
    a = [1] * (10 ** 6)
    b = [2] * (2 * 10 ** 7)
    del b
    return a

my_function()

Run this script, and it will display memory usage for each line.

Is it compatible with Jupyter notebooks?

Yes, memory_profiler works well with Jupyter notebooks. You can use the %memit magic command to measure memory usage.
