I was trying to run a performance test of my code using cProfile, but sadly no matter how I tried cProfile refused to function properly. Here's what I did:
import cProfile
cProfile.run('addNum()') # addNum() is a very simple function that adds a bunch of
# numbers into a dictionary
and here's what I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Wing IDE 101 4.1\src\debug\tserver\_sandbox.py", line 1, in <module>
# Used internally for debug sandbox under external interpreter
File "C:\Python27\Lib\cProfile.py", line 36, in run
result = prof.print_stats(sort)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\cProfile.py", line 81, in print_stats
pstats.Stats(self).strip_dirs().sort_stats(sort).print_stats()

self.load_stats(arg)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\pstats.py", line 124, in load_stats
self.__class__, arg)
TypeError: Cannot create or construct a <class pstats.Stats at 0x01AE9CA8> object from '<cProfile.Profile object at 0x01ACC470>''
Can someone help me debug this, and hopefully provide a solution?
I'm running Python 2.7.3 on Wing IDE 101 ver4.1.
Thank you!!!
This seems like a problem with the pStats module and not the cProfile.
can you try doing
import pstats
If this says cannot import pstats, then try installing the python-profiler again. It comes with python itself but that might be messed up in your case IF pstats is not there.
It's a simple apt-get on linux, so I am assuming windows would have a separate binary for python-profiler too.
Hope this helps!
