Hi everyone, Something occurred to me while trying to analyze code today: profiler and cProfiler emit their data in pstats format, which various tools and libraries consume. tracemalloc, on the other hand, uses a completely separate format which nonetheless contains similar data. In fact, in many non-Python applications I've worked in, heap and CPU profiles were always emitted in identical formats, which allowed things like visual representations of stack traces where memory is allocated, and these have proven quite useful in practice and allowed lots of sharing of tools across many applications.
Is there a particular design reason why these formats are different in Python right now? Would it make sense to consider allowing them to match, e.g. having a tracemalloc.dump_pstats() method? Yonatan
