A pure Python module for monitoring memory consumption of a process, including line-by-line analysis of memory usage in Python programs. It includes the mprof tool for running executables and plotting full memory usage reports over time.

Use cases

• profile memory usage of python code line by line
• find which lines of my python function allocate the most memory
• plot memory usage of a python executable over time
• debug memory leaks in a python script
• monitor memory consumption of a python process

When to choose

• you need line-by-line memory attribution for Python functions
• you want a simple pip-installable profiler with plotting via mprof
• you are debugging memory growth or leaks in Python code

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling - the project is no longer actively maintained
• you need CPU or wall-time profiling rather than memory
• you need profiling for non-Python code
