How can I analyze a file created with pstats.dump_stats(filename) off line?
Here's what i found out and the Python program I generated. I tested this with a .dmp file made on linux & analyzed on windows xp. It worked FINE. The Python file is named, "analyze_dmp.py".
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
"""analyze_dmp.py takes the file INFILEPATH [a pstats dump file] Producing OUTFILEPATH [a human readable python profile]
Usage: analyze_dmp.py INFILEPATH OUTFILEPATH
Example: analyze_dmp.py stats.dmp stats.log

You can try snakeviz
https://jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz
It is a browser based graphical viewer for the output of Python’s cProfile module and an alternative to using the standard library pstats module.
# to install it with pip
pip install snakeviz
# once installed, you can use snakeviz to view the file
snakeviz /path/to/your/dump/pstat/file
Here is a sample image for a visualized pstat file you can dump like above.
