Use LineProfiler for line-by-line profiling of Django App

I want to use line profiler to profile my django project to show the analysis of code performance.

I am following these links:

  1. http://djangotricks.blogspot.in/2015/01/performance-bottlenecks-in-django-views.html

  2. https://github.com/dcramer/django-devserver

but this is not working for me.I am getting an error regarding the devserver as below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

Note: Versions I am using - Django : 1.9 and python : 3.4

Solution

  • It appears that django-devserver currently doesn't support python3.

    There is a github issue and pull request to fix that. You either have to use python2 or wait till it completely supports python3.
