🧠 memory_profiler

memory_profiler monitors the memory usage of your application, enabling you to find functions that use more memory than expected, or use memory in an inefficient way.

Usage Example

Install it with: pip install memory_profiler

This snippet decorates a function to profile its memory usage line by line.

from memory_profiler import profile

@profile
def my_func():
    a = [1] * (10**6)
    b = [2] * (2 * 10**7)
    del b
    return a

if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_func()

You can thereby use memory_profiler to identify where the space complexity of your code may need consideration.
