It uses py-spy for stack sampling and a Rust backend to handle profile transmission, giving you ongoing visibility into where your application spends CPU time without requiring code instrumentation.\n\nThe package is designed for production profiling workflows where you want to understand performance characteristics over time rather than one-off profiling sessions. It has no Python runtime dependencies and works across macOS, Linux, and Unix systems on modern Python versions. Installation involves downloading platform-specific wheels, so setup is straightforward but version-specific.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a Pyroscope server running and need production-grade continuous profiling. The package is actively maintained, has no external Python dependencies, and carries a permissive license. Medium install friction is typical for compiled profilers and not a barrier. No known security vulnerabilities. Install it when you're ready to move beyond ad-hoc profiling to systematic performance monitoring."},"id":"pyroscope-io","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyroscope-io","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyroscope-io.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyroscope-io/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-27","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyroscope-io","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Pyroscope Python integration"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11704674,"position":1369,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
