How can I use tracemalloc for advanced memory profiling in Python?

Tracemalloc is a built-in module in Python that helps track memory allocations. You can start by importing it and calling tracemalloc.start(). This will begin tracking memory allocations.

What are some advanced features of tracemalloc?

Some advanced features include filtering snapshots, comparing memory usage between different points in time, and using the get_traced_memory() function to get the current size of all allocated memory.

Can I filter the memory allocations by file or line number?

Yes, you can filter memory allocations by file or line number using the filter_traces() method, which allows you to specify criteria for the traces you want to analyze.

How do I compare memory usage between two snapshots?

You can take two snapshots using tracemalloc.take_snapshot() and then compare them using the compare_to() method, which will show you the differences in memory allocations.
