Using cProfile results with KCacheGrind
- by Adam Luchjenbroers
I'm using cProfile to profile my Python program. Based upon this talk I was under the impression that KCacheGrind could parse and display the output from cProfile.
However, when I go to import the file, KCacheGrind just displays an 'Unknown File Format' error in the status bar and sits there displaying nothing.
Is there something special I need to do before my profiling stats are compatible with KCacheGrind?
...
if profile:
import cProfile
profileFileName = 'Profiles/pythonray_' + time.strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S') + '.profile'
profile = cProfile.Profile()
profile.run('pilImage = camera.render(scene, samplePattern)')
profile.dump_stats(profileFileName)
profile.print_stats()
else:
pilImage = camera.render(scene, samplePattern)
...
