Which PyPy memory profiler is recommended?

Question

What tools can I use to monitor PyPy’s memory consumption? It’s better if the tool is portable for various Python interpreters (CPython and PyPy) and versions (2.6 to 3.3).

Answer 1

I only know about one profiler, which is provided by python community itself, memory profiler.

You can download it using either pip or easy_install,

$ easy_install -U memory_profiler # pip install -U memory_profiler

psutil is recommended module to have with this profiler.

If you want to install it from source,

$ python setup.py install
