Hi, I would like have a python analysis for Python files executed from the C python API, like in this sample code adapted from https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html :
#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN #include <Python.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("before\n"); wchar_t *program = Py_DecodeLocale(argv[0], NULL); if (program == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Fatal error: cannot decode argv[0]\n"); exit(1); } Py_SetProgramName(program); Py_Initialize(); auto* f = fopen("f.py", "rb"); auto r = PyRun_SimpleFile(f, "f.py"); if (Py_FinalizeEx() < 0) { exit(120); } PyMem_RawFree(program); return 0; }
When I use Hostspots analysis with user mode sampling and managed mode set to any of (auto, native, mixed), I only get the C/C++ functions.
python37_d.dll ! PyEval_EvalFrameDefault - ceval.c python37_d.dll ! PyEval_EvalCodeWithName + 0xaf3 - ceval.c:3930 python37_d.dll ! PyEval_EvalCodeEx + 0x95 - ceval.c:3959 python37_d.dll ! PyEval_EvalCode + 0x2d - ceval.c:524 python37_d.dll ! run_mod + 0x69 - pythonrun.c:1035 python37_d.dll ! PyRun_FileExFlags + 0x111 - pythonrun.c:988 python37_d.dll ! PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags + 0x4df - pythonrun.c:429 embed1.exe ! [embed1.exe] + 0x11a2f - [unknown source file]
It is possible to have the python file/stack analysis, and how ? Thank you
I use vtune 2020-60519 with Visual Studio 2017 on Windows.

Hi Philippe
Vtune usually tend to point to cpp code abstracted beneath the python code. So it is expected behavior to get ony the the C/C++ functions. We will check with experts on the possibility of a python file/stack analysis and get back to you.

Hi Philippe.
There are some limitations with Python profiling in VTune. You can refer this https://software.intel.com/en-us/vtune-help-python-code-analysis for more details. I saw you are using Python 3. The best support from VTune is currently available for Python 2.6. Also, your application should have at least 2 Python functions in the stack otherwise VTune may show only native code profile data. If still you are having issues, please feel free to respond to the thread.
Thanks,
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
You can close this thread, although my issue is not solved, as I must use Python 3. I will stay tuned for updated about Python 3 support. My final use case is to profile a Blender plugin. I just checked and I can confirm that vTune insists in showing only the C frames, although the Python stack is at least 6 python functions deep.

Hi Philippe,
I am going ahead and closing this case. We will no longer respond to this thread. If you require additional assistance from Intel, please start a new thread. Any further interaction in this thread will be considered community only.
