pdb & cProfile: Essential Tools for Debugging and Performance Analysis(Python Core in Action 28)

Master debugging and performance analysis in Python with `pdb` and `cProfile` for efficient code, reducing latency and optimizing resources.

Welcome to the "Python Core in Action" Series

Table of Contents

In real-world production environments, debugging and performance analysis are essential tasks. These typically occur in three situations:

1. The code has bugs, and we need to find the root cause and fix it.

2. The code is inefficient, wasting resources or increasing latency, requiring debugging.

3. New features are being developed and need to be tested.

In this lesson, we’ll explore the right tools, proper usage, and the steps to follow for debugging and performance analysis.
