Pikos

=====

Pikos is a profiling and investigation tool suite for python

applications. The name is inspired by Pikos Apikos the main character

in a mid 80s Greek puppet TV series. Pikos was an investigative journalist 

that was assigned to find out about a missing person in the remote

and strange land of of Froutopia, a country populated by fruits that

can talk.

Key aims of Pikos are:

    - Help identify areas of the an application that need to improve.

    - Use, group and augment rather than replace commonly used tools like

      cProfile and line_profiler

    - Provide effective memory monitoring throughout python.

    - Be multi-platform.

    - Provide real-time access to profile data and allow live analysis

      of this while the application is running.

Repository

----------

.. todo:: Add repository info

Installation

------------

The package requires a recent version of psutil (>=0.4.1)::

    python setup.py install

To build with the real-time fork of cProfile, you will need a build of

libzmq to compile and link against. Specify the path to the include

directory (containing ``zmq.h``) and the path to the library file with

which to link::

    python setup.py install --include /path/to/include --zmq-path /path/to/libzmq.so

The installation assumes that the libzqm library will be accessible

from within Python (i.e. you already have pyzmq installed).

Optional packages of external profilers:

- yappi (>=0.62),  ``_

- line_profiler (>=1.0b3),  ``_

Optional packages for the live monitoring tools:

- pyzmq (>= 2.1.11) ``_

- traits (>= 4.1.0) ``_

- traitsui (>= 4.1.0) ``_

- pyface (>= 4.1.0 ``_

- envisage (>= 4.1.0 ``_

- chaco (>= 4.1.0) ``_

- numpy (>= 1.6.1) ``_
