## What it is
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- you need actively maintained tooling - the project is no longer actively maintained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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, benchmarking, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, performance
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: memory-profiling, profiler, psutil, line-by-line-analysis, mprof, python
