'no stats' when profiling numpy on anaconda 3.5 about vmprof-python HOT 10 OPEN

First, if your program takes only a few milliseconds to run, that may be too fast for vmprof to collect any data at all. Second, vmprof collects only data about pure Python code, but numpy is implemented almost entirely in C, which is why you won't see anything useful with your example.

Btw does anyone know of a Python profiler that can look into the C stack?

Released version doesn't support Python 3.5.1. See #60

@methane Thanks!

from vmprof-python.

@fijal Could you please release the fix?

from vmprof-python.

I've release the fix

from vmprof-python.

To be precise: I've release the mentioned pull request, but not the fix for this issue, will reopen that one

from vmprof-python.

I have tried the same script now with 0.4.3 on mac os x 10.12.3. It revealed an issue on mac: a signal is delivered after vmprof.disable() is called (which terminated the program with SIGPROF). The signal handler is now set to SIG_IGN (signal ignore) which passes. I'm trying to find a better solution though.

Here is the native profile:

Okay I seem encountered this issue, tired with python 3.5.1 or 3.6.1 both not working.
vmprof version 0.4.3

python -m vmprof -o output.log xx.py

(xx.py print stuff and output.log generated)

vmprofshow output.log

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is this a related problem?

Stuff in xx.py

def f_a():
    for x in range(100):
        print(x)

if __name__=='__main__':
    f_a()

from vmprof-python.

it seems that 100 iterations is not enough for a single signal to occur. I get the same issue, try to run at least 1000 iterations...

It now displays the following (the warning is only displayed if the profiling took less than 1 second):

WARNING: The profiling completed in less than 1 seconds. Please run your programs longer!
No stack trace has been recorded (profile is empty)! Did your program not run long enough?
