       pprofile is a Line-granularity, thread-aware deterministic and statistic pure-python profiler

       Line-granularity, thread-aware deterministic and statistic pure-python profiler.  Line granularity allows
       locating  precisely  where time is spent in code.  Thread awareness automatically propagates profiling to
       all threads (all threads in statistic mode, or threads spawned by profiled code in  deterministic  mode).
       Deterministic  profiling  gives  precise  measures,  but at a large speed cost (best used on minimal test
       scenario).  Statistic profiling gives rough measure, but has an extremely low overhead (suitable for live
       code profiling).  Does not require marking methods to  profile,  allowing  non-method  profiling  (module
       imports, class & function declarations and other module-level code).  Can produce callgrind output.

-h,--help
              Show summary of options.

       -mMODULE
               Searches sys.path for the named module and runs the corresponding .py file as a
               script. When given, positional argumentsbecome sys.argv[1:].

       -o,--outOUT
              Write annotated sources to this file. Defaults to stdout.

       -z,--zipfileZIPFILE
              Name of a zip file to generate from all involved source files. Useful with
               callgrind output.

       -t,--threadsTHREADS
              If non-zero, trace threads spawned by program. Default: 1.

       -f,--formatcallgrind,text
              Format  in which output is generated. If not set, auto-detected from filename if provided, falling
              back to "text".

       -v,--verbose
              Enable profiler internal tracing output. Cryptic and verbose.

       -s,--statisticSTATISTIC
              Use this period for statistic profiling, or use deterministic profiling when 0.
