How do I set up code profiling my application?

[snew...@gmail.com]

I'd like to do some code profiling of my application/projects, and I'm
confused about how to go about it. I found a wiki entry that
references hotshot, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

I remember seeing a nice writeup on using nose with django, which is
both a test runner and a code coverage tool. I can't find it at the
moment, but there's these:

For anybody like me who hadn't heard of this nifty hotshot2callgraph
tool: turns out it is part of the kdesdk package (on Linux distros). You
don't get that goodness as part of just having valgrind and callgrind
installed (I love valgrind -- having extra uses for callgrind and
alleyoop is nice to see).

Thanks for pointing out that trick in the article; will make get a quick
overview of hotshot output easier.

note that KDE4 will be ported to windows an mac, so there are big
chances for Kcachegrind on those platforms. And I've seen somewhere a
python script for converting hotshot logs do kcachegrind (and
wingrind ? :))

Maybe this is what you're looking for? http://zilbo.com/@perfmon It's
Ian Holsman's Django performance monitor. He used to be *very* active
in the Django community. Don't know whether or not he's kept it up to
date, but it can't hurt to ask.
