Performance testing packages?

[kgk]

Is there a preferred or suggested package for pylons/turbogears
performance testing?
I would like to integrate performance measures into our nosetests and
wondered
if anybody could give some recommendations?

Thx.

Howdy!

I've been using repoze.profile.profiler's
AccumulatingProfileMiddleware configured to discard the first request
(to avoid template compilation and buried import statement overhead on
the initial request). I use the following code in my <pkg>/config/
middleware.py: make_app function:

from repoze.profile.profiler import
AccumulatingProfileMiddleware

app = AccumulatingProfileMiddleware(
app,
log_filename = config.get('web.profile.log',
'profile.prof'),
discard_first_request = asbool(config.get
('web.profile.discard', 'true')),
flush_at_shutdown = asbool(config.get
('web.profile.flush', 'true')),
path = config.get('web.profile.path', '/__profile__')
)
