README for pympler
==================

Pympler is a development tool to measure, monitor and analyze the memory
behavior of Python objects in a running Python application.

By pympling a Python application, detailed insight in the size and the lifetime
of Python objects can be obtained.  Undesirable or unexpected runtime behavior
like memory bloat and other "pymples" can easily be identified.

Pympler integrates three previously separate projects into a single,
comprehensive profiling tool. Asizeof provides basic size information for one
or several Python objects, muppy is used for on-line monitoring of a Python
application and the class tracker provides off-line analysis of the lifetime of
selected Python objects. A web profiling frontend exposes process statistics,
garbage visualisation and class tracker statistics.

Pympler is written entirely in Python, with no dependencies to external
libraries on Linux and MacOS. On Windows, pywin32 is required.

Installation from PyPI
----------------------

To install the latest version of Pympler from the Python package index run:

Installation from source
------------------------

Before installing Pympler, try it with your Python version:

    python setup.py try

If any errors are reported, check whether your Python version is supported.
Pympler is written entirely in Python, with no dependencies other than standard
Python modules and libraries. Pympler works with Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9,
3.10, 3.11 and 3.12.

For a system-wide installation from source run:

    pip install .

Test the installed Pympler package:

    python setup.py test
