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 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, or 3.8. This package is CPython only;
PyPy and other Python implementations are not supported. Python 2 support
can be obtained from [guppy-pe](http://guppy-pe.sourceforge.net/) 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
```
## 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()`
4. How to show the shortest paths from the root to the single largest object: `h.heap().byid[0].sp`
3. How to create and show a set of objects: `h.iso(1,[],{})`
```python
>>> from guppy import hpy; h=hpy()
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 30976 objects. Total size = 3544220 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 8292 27 739022 21 739022 21 str
1 7834 25 625624 18 1364646 39 tuple

3 400 1 297088 8 1962358 55 type
4 4168 13 279278 8 2241636 63 bytes
5 1869 6 269136 8 2510772 71 function
6 400 1 228464 6 2739236 77 dict of type
7 79 0 139704 4 2878940 81 dict of module
8 1061 3 93368 3 2972308 84 types.WrapperDescriptorType
9 172 1 81712 2 3054020 86 dict (no owner)
<89 more rows. Type e.g. '_.more' to view.>
>>> h.heap().byid[0].sp
0: h.Root.i0_modules['os'].__dict__
>>> h.iso(1,[],{})
Partition of a set of 3 objects. Total size = 348 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 1 33 248 71 248 71 dict (no owner)
1 1 33 72 21 320 92 list
2 1 33 28 8 348 100 int

## 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:
```python
>>> 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.
