A browser-based interface for <code>.pstats</code> files, the binary output that <code>cProfile</code> writes to disk when you profile Python code. Fancy and friendly UI, kind of tool that makes a familiar workflow suddenly feel less like archaeology.</p> <p>Looking at it triggered a question that had nothing to do with the tool itself. What&rsquo;s actually in there the <code>.pstats</code> files? How it gets produced. What it means when <code>cumtime</code> on a function is 20 times larger than <code>tottime</code>. The tool was the rock. The investigation was the wave.</p>
