Notate che in questo esempio viene eseguito il ``benchmark'' pystones di python. Puņ richiedere molto tempo e produrre file molto grandi.
>>> import hotshot, hotshot.stats, test.pystone >>> prof = hotshot.Profile("stones.prof") >>> benchtime, stones = prof.runcall(test.pystone.pystones) >>> prof.close() >>> stats = hotshot.stats.load("stones.prof") >>> stats.strip_dirs() >>> stats.sort_stats('time', 'calls') >>> stats.print_stats(20) 850004 function calls in 10.090 CPU seconds Ordered by: internal time, call count ncalls tottime percall cumtime percall filename:lineno(function) 1 3.295 3.295 10.090 10.090 pystone.py:79(Proc0) 150000 1.315 0.000 1.315 0.000 pystone.py:203(Proc7) 50000 1.313 0.000 1.463 0.000 pystone.py:229(Func2) . . .
