It takes profiling data generated by Python's standard cProfile or profile module and renders it as an interactive hierarchy showing which functions consumed the most time and how they called one another. The tool runs a local web server (powered by tornado) and displays the call tree in a format inspired by RunSnakeRun, making it easy to spot performance bottlenecks without leaving your browser.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who need to understand where their Python code spends execution time. You generate a profile using Python's built-in profiling tools, then point SnakeViz at the output file. It handles the visualization and interaction, letting you drill down into call stacks and compare time spent across different code paths.","worth_installing":"Yes. SnakeViz is a mature, actively maintained tool with low install friction, no security vulnerabilities, and a permissive license. It solves a real problem\u2014making Python profiling data readable\u2014and integrates seamlessly with Python's standard profiling workflow. Install it if you regularly profile Python code and want a better way to explore the results than command-line tools."},"id":"snakeviz","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakeviz","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakeviz.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/snakeviz/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"snakeviz","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A web-based viewer for Python profiler output"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2682897,"position":2941,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.2"}
