Comment #1 on issue 99 by collinw: Profiling guidelines in wiki are
important.

We to a slight patch to fully enable OProfile with Unladen; documenting
that procedure
before it works doesn't make any sense. Merging into that issue.
As for using oprofile in general, I recommend using Google: searching for
[oprofile
tutorial] brings up lots of pages, such as
http://linuxtips.pbworks.com/Oprofile-
Tutorial.
OK, I see.
What is the recommended profiling tool for u-s today?
You should use cProfile for general Python-level profiling (though that
mostly disables
machine code) or OProfile to profile the whole Python binary. After the
necessary
patches, OProfile will be the preferred way of improving performance of
Python-the-
binary.
