How can I monitor memory usage in Python?

You can use the psutil library to monitor memory usage in Python. It provides an easy way to retrieve system and process information.

Can you show me a simple example of using psutil?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import psutil

# Get the memory usage of the current process
process = psutil.Process()
mem_info = process.memory_info()
print(f'Memory Usage: {mem_info.rss} bytes')

What does rss mean in this context?

rss stands for 'Resident Set Size', which is the portion of memory occupied by a process that is held in RAM.

Are there other libraries I can use for memory profiling?

Yes, you can also use libraries like memory_profiler and objgraph for more detailed memory profiling in Python.
