How do you read the .prof files generated by web2py's profiler?

Question

If I run web2py with the -F option, it will generate a .prof file. How do I read the contents of this file? Hotshot doesn't appear to work (I tried RunSnakeRun as well).

I have not used the web2py -F option. I tried the profiling option mentioned in this link, and it seemed to work: vrplumber.com/programming/runsnakerun – Dorinda

Answer 1

Web2py uses cProfile; I found something that will load the cProfile generated file and spit out output to a webpage:

pip install cprofilev, then run cprofilev on the .prof file. Enjoy!

Answer 2

snakeviz is a module/binary to view and generate cprofile .prof files. Recommended by the search engine. I really like its Sunburst plot.
