How can I profile my Python code for performance?

How can I profile my Python code for performance?

You can use the built-in cProfile module to profile your Python code. It provides a way to measure where time is being spent in your program.

Can you show me a simple example of using cProfile?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import cProfile

def my_function():
    total = 0
    for i in range(10000):
        total += i
    return total

cProfile.run('my_function()')

What output should I expect from this?

The output will show you the number of calls, time spent in each function, and other statistics that help identify bottlenecks.

Are there any other tools I can use for profiling?

Yes, you can also use tools like line_profiler for line-by-line profiling or memory_profiler for memory usage analysis.
