Return value while using cProfile

Question

I\'m trying to profile an instance method, so I\'ve done something like:

import cProfile

class Test():

    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def method         


        

Answer 1

I was struggling with the same problem and used a wrapper function to get over direct return values. Instead of

cP.runctx("a=foo()", globals(), locales())

I create a wrapper function

def wrapper(b):
  b.append(foo())

and profile the call to the wrapper function

b = []
cP.runctx("wrapper(b)", globals(), locals())
a = b[0]

extracting the result of foo's computation from the out param (b) afterwards.
