Modified version of Profiling Middleware

Prints profile results for method, additionally groups results by files and by modules (for django uses top level modules as groups). Works for Windows.

Usage: append ?prof or &prof= to any URL pointing to django application after adding ProfileMiddleware to middlewares in yours settings.py.

NOTICE: ProfileMiddleware uses hotshot profiler which is not thread safe.

Very cool, thanks!

Python 2.4 throws an invalid syntax error on the "if" in line 57 : res += "%4.1f%% %7.3f %s\n" % ( 100*item[0]/sum if sum else 0, item[0], item[1] )

#

hans (on April 28, 2008):

This might expose my lack of understanding of this, but how come my application code doesn't show up in the profile?

#

andrew (on May 14, 2008):

To handle views with alternative mimetypes (such as XML), you should assign to response['content-type'] on line 112

#

andrew (on May 14, 2008):

To simultaneous profile SQL queries (in DEBUG mode):

  • with your other imports, add

    from django.db import connection

    import pprint

  • in process_request, add:

    connection.queries = []

  • in process_response, add:

    response.content += '\n%d SQL Queries:\n' % len(connection.queries)

    response.content += pprint.pformat(connection.queries)

#

kedare (on October 16, 2008):

I get this error when i go to the admin area with this middleware: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'

#

peterbe (on November 19, 2008):

For this to work with >= 1.0 you need to change the multiple occurances of 'request.has_key' to this:

'prof' in request.GET

#

Krystal (on April 14, 2009):

You can replace the tiercary operator mentionned above with 

res += "%4.1f%% %7.3f %s\n" % ( sum and 100*item[0]/sum or 0, item[0], item[1] )

So it run on python 2.4

And to have a (little) more info on SQL request, you could extend the code of andrew with this :

response.content += '\n%d SQL Queries in %.3f seconds :\n' %(
    len(connection.queries), sum([ float(i.get('time', 0)) for i in connection.queries ]))
response.content += pprint.pformat(connection.queries)

in the process_response file.

#

Krystal (on April 27, 2009):

And don't forget to put the SQL request debug code in

#

adamlofts (on June 24, 2009):

I've found this snippet a bit weird in that it reuses the old response object. This works fine except when the content type is not html, e.g. looking at XML output. A quick fix to this problem is to add:

response['Content-Type'] = 'text/html'

to the end of process_response()
