Integrating the Dozer memory profiler in your python script.

Sometimes it’s useful to take a quick look on how your python script consumes the memory. The Dozer memory profiler is a very handy in this case. Unfortunately it requires that you run a WSGI app, which is not always the case.

A quick hack would be to start a fake wsgi server in the separate thread:

It turns out that this works quiet well :) But, once again, don’t forget to set daemon=True

Another useful tool, which doesn’t require a WSGI app is the Heapy profiler. This is a PhD research project, the source code is really strange and looks like the project is left behind.
