description Profile and optimize Python code using cProfile, memory profilers, and performance best practices. Triggers: profiling, optimization, cProfile, memory profiler, bottleneck, slow code, performance, benchmarking, py-spy, tracemalloc Use when: debugging slow code, identifying bottlenecks, optimizing memory, benchmarking performance, production profiling DO NOT use when: async concurrency - use python-async instead. DO NOT use when: CPU/GPU system monitoring - use conservation:cpu-gpu-performance. Consult this skill for Python performance profiling and optimization.

Python Performance Optimization

Profiling and optimization patterns for Python code.

Quick Start

# Basic timing
import timeit
time = timeit.timeit("sum(range(1000000))", number=100)
print(f"Average: {time/100:.6f}s")

When to Use

  • Identifying performance bottlenecks
  • Reducing application latency
  • Optimizing CPU-intensive operations
  • Reducing memory consumption
  • Profiling production applications
  • Improving database query performance

Modules

This skill is organized into focused modules for progressive loading:

profiling-tools

CPU profiling with cProfile, line profiling, memory profiling, and production profiling with py-spy. Essential for identifying where your code spends time and memory.

optimization-patterns

Ten proven optimization patterns including list comprehensions, generators, caching, string concatenation, data structures, NumPy, multiprocessing, and database operations.

memory-management

Memory optimization techniques including leak tracking with tracemalloc and weak references for caches. Depends on profiling-tools.

benchmarking-tools

Benchmarking tools including custom decorators and pytest-benchmark for verifying performance improvements.

best-practices

Best practices, common pitfalls, and exit criteria for performance optimization work. Synthesizes guidance from profiling-tools and optimization-patterns.

Exit Criteria

  • Profiled code to identify bottlenecks
  • Applied appropriate optimization patterns
  • Verified improvements with benchmarks
  • Memory usage acceptable
  • No performance regressions
