Pipenv VS py-spy

pipenv solves this by having both kinds of requirement files: Pipfile lists package names and known constraints on which versions can be used, while Pipfile.lock gives specific package versions with hashes. Theoretically the Pipfile (and its lockfile) format were supposed to be a standard that many different tools could use, but I haven't seen it get adopted much outside of pipenv itself, so I'm not sure if it's really going to catch on.

I am sick and tired of the python packaging space pushing this godawful tool for Python. Please just use pip-tools or poetry instead.

ℹ️ You may use a different virtual environment manager like Pipenv or poetry.

Hey lua would you mind looking at this question for me? https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/discussions/5411

Alternatively, you can look into Pipenv, which has a lot more tools to develop secure applications with.

For CPU cycles, py-spy[0] is getting more and more used. For RAM, I would like to known too...

Theres also Py Spy, a profiling tool that can generate flame charts containing a mix of python and C (or C++) calls.

It's worked really well for my needs

You should profile your consumer to check the bottlenecks. You can use the excellent py-spy(written in Rust). IMO a few usage of Numba there and there should solve your performance issues.

So as a first step you'll want to profile your program to figure out where it's slow, and hopefully that'll also tell you why it's slow. I'm the (biased) author of the Sciagraph profiler which is designed for this sort of application (https://sciagraph.com) but you can also try py-spy, which isn't as well designed for data processing/analysis applications (e.g. it won't visualize parallelism at all) but can still be informative (https://github.com/benfred/py-spy). Both are written in Rust ;)

Any advantages/disadvantages compared to py-spy [1]?

Python profiling is enabled primarily through cprofile, and can be visualized with help of tools like snakeviz (output flame graph can look like this). There are also memory profilers like memray which does in-depth traces, or sampling profilers like py-spy.

A good profiler would be https://github.com/benfred/py-spy . If you run your app/benchmark with it, it should be able to draw a flamegraph telling you where the majority of time is spent. The info here is quite fine grained so it would already tell you where the bottleneck is. Without a full-fledged profiler you can also measure the timings in various parts of the code to understand where the bottleneck is.

Might be worth raising an issue on py-spy (a python profiler written in rust which "supports profiling native python extensions written in languages like C/C++ or Cython" to see if that can close the loop.
