[PYTHON] Profile within a class method

background

Looking at http://docs.python.jp/2/library/profile.html, I thought that I could profile with cProfile.run () and used it in the method of the class NameError: name'self' is not I get a defined error.

import cProfile

class MyClass(object):
    def someFunc(self):
        cProfile.run("self.anotherFunc()")

    def anotherFunc(self):
        pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = MyClass()
    m.someFunc()

I got stuck twice, so make a note before the third one.

Solution

Use runctx

import cProfile

class MyClass(object):
    def someFunc(self):
        cProfile.runctx("self.anotherFunc()", globals(), locals())

    def anotherFunc(self):
        pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    m = MyClass()
    m.someFunc()
