Guppy 3

Build Status Codecov PyPI version Repology - Repositories PyPI - Downloads
PyPI - Implementation PyPI - Python Version PyPI - License Contributions Welcome

A Python Programming Environment & Heap analysis toolset.

This package contains the following subpackages:

  • etc - Support modules. Contains especially the Glue protocol module.
  • gsl - The Guppy Specification Language implementation. This can be used to create documents and tests from a common source.
  • heapy - The heap analysis toolset. It can be used to find information about the objects in the heap and display the information in various ways.
  • sets - Bitsets and 'nodesets' implemented in C.

Guppy 3 is a fork of Guppy-PE, created by Sverker Nilsson for Python 2.

Requirements

You should have Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12. This package is CPython only; PyPy and other Python implementations are not supported. Python 2 support can be obtained from guppy-pe by Sverker Nilsson, from which this package is forked.

To use the graphical browser, Tkinter is needed. To use the remote monitor, threading must be available.

Installation

Install with pip by:

pip install guppy3

Install with conda by:

conda install -c conda-forge guppy3

Usage

The following example shows

  1. How to create the session context: h=hpy()
  2. How to show the reachable objects in the heap: h.heap()
  3. How to show the shortest paths from the root to the single largest object: h.heap().byid[0].sp
  4. How to create and show a set of objects: h.iso(1,[],{})
>>> from guppy import hpy; h=hpy()
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 30976 objects. Total size = 3544220 bytes.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. You may also ask for help on using this toolset; however, in such cases, we will only provide guidance, and not profile your code for you.

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.

Testing

To test if the heapy build and installation was ok, you can do:

>>> from guppy import hpy
>>> hpy().test()
Testing sets
Test #0
Test #1
Test #2
...

There will be several more tests. Some tests may take a while.
