What are some effective tools for debugging memory issues in Python?

There are several tools you can use to debug memory issues in Python, such as memory_profiler, objgraph, and guppy. Would you like to know how to use any of these?

Yes, can you explain how to use memory_profiler?

Sure! To use memory_profiler, you first need to install it via pip. Then, you can decorate your functions with @profile to track memory usage. Running your script with python -m memory_profiler your_script.py will show you the memory usage line by line.

What about objgraph? How does it help?

Objgraph helps you visualize object references and find memory leaks. You can use it to generate graphs of object types and see which objects are taking up the most memory.

Are there any built-in tools in Python for memory debugging?

Yes, Python has a built-in module called tracemalloc that can trace memory allocations. You can use it to identify memory leaks and track memory usage over time.
