27.7. tracemalloc — 跟踪内存分配

3.4 版新增。

tracemalloc 模块是跟踪 Python 分配内存块的调试工具。它提供下列信息:

  • 回溯分配对象位置
  • Statistics on allocated memory blocks per filename and per line number: total size, number and average size of allocated memory blocks
  • 计算 2 快照间差异以检测内存泄漏

要跟踪 Python 分配的大部分内存块,应尽早启动模块通过设置 PYTHONTRACEMALLOC 环境变量到 1 ,或通过使用 -X tracemalloc 命令行选项。 tracemalloc.start() 函数可以在运行时被调用以启动跟踪 Python 内存分配。

默认情况下,仅存储分配内存块跟踪最近的 1 帧。要在启动时存储 25 帧:设置 PYTHONTRACEMALLOC 环境变量到 25 ,或使用 -X tracemalloc=25 命令行选项。

27.7.1. 范例

27.7.1.1. Display the top 10

显示分配最多内存的 10 个文件:

import tracemalloc
tracemalloc.start()
# ... run your application ...
snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot.statistics('lineno')
print("[ Top 10 ]")
for stat in top_stats[:10]:
    print(stat)
					

Python 测试套件的输出范例:

[ Top 10 ]
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:716: size=4855 KiB, count=39328, average=126 B
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:284: size=521 KiB, count=3199, average=167 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/collections/__init__.py:368: size=244 KiB, count=2315, average=108 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/unittest/case.py:381: size=185 KiB, count=779, average=243 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/unittest/case.py:402: size=154 KiB, count=378, average=416 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/abc.py:133: size=88.7 KiB, count=347, average=262 B
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:1446: size=70.4 KiB, count=911, average=79 B
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:1454: size=52.0 KiB, count=25, average=2131 B
<string>:5: size=49.7 KiB, count=148, average=344 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/sysconfig.py:411: size=48.0 KiB, count=1, average=48.0 KiB
					

可以看到 Python 加载了 4.8 MiB 数据 (字节码和常量) 从模块而 collections 模块分配了 244 KiB 以构建 namedtuple 类型。

Snapshot.statistics() 了解更多选项。

27.7.1.2. Compute differences

获取 2 快照并显示差异:

import tracemalloc
tracemalloc.start()
# ... start your application ...
snapshot1 = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
# ... call the function leaking memory ...
snapshot2 = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot2.compare_to(snapshot1, 'lineno')
print("[ Top 10 differences ]")
for stat in top_stats[:10]:
    print(stat)
					

运行 Python 测试套件的一些测试之前/之后的输出范例:

[ Top 10 differences ]
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:716: size=8173 KiB (+4428 KiB), count=71332 (+39369), average=117 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/linecache.py:127: size=940 KiB (+940 KiB), count=8106 (+8106), average=119 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/unittest/case.py:571: size=298 KiB (+298 KiB), count=589 (+589), average=519 B
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:284: size=1005 KiB (+166 KiB), count=7423 (+1526), average=139 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/mimetypes.py:217: size=112 KiB (+112 KiB), count=1334 (+1334), average=86 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/http/server.py:848: size=96.0 KiB (+96.0 KiB), count=1 (+1), average=96.0 KiB
/usr/lib/python3.4/inspect.py:1465: size=83.5 KiB (+83.5 KiB), count=109 (+109), average=784 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/unittest/mock.py:491: size=77.7 KiB (+77.7 KiB), count=143 (+143), average=557 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/urllib/parse.py:476: size=71.8 KiB (+71.8 KiB), count=969 (+969), average=76 B
/usr/lib/python3.4/contextlib.py:38: size=67.2 KiB (+67.2 KiB), count=126 (+126), average=546 B
					

We can see that Python has loaded 8.2 MiB of module data (bytecode and constants), and that this is 4.4 MiB more than had been loaded before the tests, when the previous snapshot was taken. Similarly, the linecache module has cached 940 KiB of Python source code to format tracebacks, all of it since the previous snapshot.

If the system has little free memory, snapshots can be written on disk using the Snapshot.dump() method to analyze the snapshot offline. Then use the Snapshot.load() 方法重新加载快照。

27.7.1.3. Get the traceback of a memory block

显示最大内存块回溯的代码:

import tracemalloc
# Store 25 frames
tracemalloc.start(25)
# ... run your application ...
snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot.statistics('traceback')
# pick the biggest memory block
stat = top_stats[0]
print("%s memory blocks: %.1f KiB" % (stat.count, stat.size / 1024))
for line in stat.traceback.format():
    print(line)
					

Example of output of the Python test suite (traceback limited to 25 frames):

903 memory blocks: 870.1 KiB
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 716
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1036
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 934
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1068
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 619
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1581
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1614
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/doctest.py", line 101
    import pdb
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 284
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 938
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1068
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 619
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1581
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1614
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/support/__init__.py", line 1728
    import doctest
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/test_pickletools.py", line 21
    support.run_doctest(pickletools)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/regrtest.py", line 1276
    test_runner()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/regrtest.py", line 976
    display_failure=not verbose)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/regrtest.py", line 761
    match_tests=ns.match_tests)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/regrtest.py", line 1563
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/test/__main__.py", line 3
    regrtest.main_in_temp_cwd()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 73
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 160
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
					

We can see that the most memory was allocated in the importlib module to load data (bytecode and constants) from modules: 870 KiB . The traceback is where the importlib loaded data most recently: on the import pdb line of the doctest module. The traceback may change if a new module is loaded.

27.7.1.4. Pretty top

    snapshot = snapshot.filter_traces((
        tracemalloc.Filter(False, "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>"),
        tracemalloc.Filter(False, "<unknown>"),
    ))
    top_stats = snapshot.statistics(group_by)
    print("Top %s lines" % limit)
    for index, stat in enumerate(top_stats[:limit], 1):
        frame = stat.traceback[0]
        # replace "/path/to/module/file.py" with "module/file.py"
        filename = os.sep.join(frame.filename.split(os.sep)[-2:])
        print("#%s: %s:%s: %.1f KiB"
              % (index, filename, frame.lineno, stat.size / 1024))
        line = linecache.getline(frame.filename, frame.lineno).strip()
        if line:
            print('    %s' % line)
    other = top_stats[limit:]
    if other:
        size = sum(stat.size for stat in other)
        print("%s other: %.1f KiB" % (len(other), size / 1024))
    total = sum(stat.size for stat in top_stats)
    print("Total allocated size: %.1f KiB" % (total / 1024))
tracemalloc.start()
# ... run your application ...
snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
display_top(snapshot)

27.7.2. API

27.7.2.1. Functions

tracemalloc. clear_traces ( )

清零由 Python 分配的内存块跟踪。

另请参阅 stop() .

tracemalloc. get_object_traceback ( obj )

Get the traceback where the Python object obj was allocated. Return a Traceback 实例,或 None tracemalloc module is not tracing memory allocations or did not trace the allocation of the object.

另请参阅 gc.get_referrers() and sys.getsizeof() 函数。

tracemalloc. get_traceback_limit ( )

Get the maximum number of frames stored in the traceback of a trace.

The tracemalloc module must be tracing memory allocations to get the limit, otherwise an exception is raised.

The limit is set by the start() 函数。

tracemalloc. get_traced_memory ( )

Get the current size and peak size of memory blocks traced by the tracemalloc module as a tuple: (current: int, peak: int) .

tracemalloc. get_tracemalloc_memory ( )

Get the memory usage in bytes of the tracemalloc module used to store traces of memory blocks. Return an int .

tracemalloc. is_tracing ( )

True tracemalloc 模块正在跟踪 Python 内存分配, False 否则。

另请参阅 start() and stop() 函数。

tracemalloc. start ( nframe: int=1 )

Start tracing Python memory allocations: install hooks on Python memory allocators. Collected tracebacks of traces will be limited to nframe frames. By default, a trace of a memory block only stores the most recent frame: the limit is 1 . nframe 必须大于或等于 1 .

Storing more than 1 frame is only useful to compute statistics grouped by 'traceback' or to compute cumulative statistics: see the Snapshot.compare_to() and Snapshot.statistics() 方法。

Storing more frames increases the memory and CPU overhead of the tracemalloc 模块。使用 get_tracemalloc_memory() function to measure how much memory is used by the tracemalloc 模块。

The PYTHONTRACEMALLOC 环境变量 ( PYTHONTRACEMALLOC=NFRAME ) 和 -X tracemalloc=NFRAME command line option can be used to start tracing at startup.

另请参阅 stop() , is_tracing() and get_traceback_limit() 函数。

tracemalloc. stop ( )

Stop tracing Python memory allocations: uninstall hooks on Python memory allocators. Also clears all previously collected traces of memory blocks allocated by Python.

调用 take_snapshot() function to take a snapshot of traces before clearing them.

另请参阅 start() , is_tracing() and clear_traces() 函数。

tracemalloc. take_snapshot ( )

Take a snapshot of traces of memory blocks allocated by Python. Return a new Snapshot 实例。

The snapshot does not include memory blocks allocated before the tracemalloc module started to trace memory allocations.

Tracebacks of traces are limited to get_traceback_limit() frames. Use the nframe 参数为 start() function to store more frames.

The tracemalloc module must be tracing memory allocations to take a snapshot, see the start() 函数。

另请参阅 get_object_traceback() 函数。

27.7.2.2. Filter

class tracemalloc. 过滤 ( inclusive: bool , filename_pattern: str , lineno: int=None , all_frames: bool=False )

过滤内存块跟踪。

fnmatch.fnmatch() function for the syntax of filename_pattern '.pyc' and '.pyo' file extensions are replaced with '.py' .

范例:

  • Filter(True, subprocess.__file__) only includes traces of the subprocess 模块
  • Filter(False, tracemalloc.__file__) excludes traces of the tracemalloc 模块
  • Filter(False, "<unknown>") 排除空回溯
inclusive

inclusive is True (include), only trace memory blocks allocated in a file with a name matching filename_pattern 在行号 lineno .

inclusive is False (exclude), ignore memory blocks allocated in a file with a name matching filename_pattern 在行号 lineno .

lineno

行号 ( int ) of the filter. If lineno is None ,过滤匹配任何行号。

filename_pattern

Filename pattern of the filter ( str ).

all_frames

all_frames is True , all frames of the traceback are checked. If all_frames is False , only the most recent frame is checked.

此属性无效若回溯限制为 1 。见 get_traceback_limit() 函数和 Snapshot.traceback_limit 属性。

27.7.2.3. Frame

class tracemalloc. Frame

回溯的帧。

The Traceback 类是序列对于 Frame 实例。

filename

文件名 ( str ).

lineno

行号 ( int ).

27.7.2.4. Snapshot

class tracemalloc. Snapshot

Python 分配的内存块跟踪快照。

The take_snapshot() 函数创建快照实例。

compare_to ( old_snapshot: Snapshot , group_by: str , cumulative: bool=False )

Compute the differences with an old snapshot. Get statistics as a sorted list of StatisticDiff instances grouped by group_by .

Snapshot.statistics() 方法对于 group_by and cumulative 参数。

结果按从最大到最小次序:绝对值的 StatisticDiff.size_diff , StatisticDiff.size ,绝对值的 StatisticDiff.count_diff , Statistic.count ,然后按 StatisticDiff.traceback .

dump ( filename )

将快照写入文件。

使用 load() 以重新加载快照。

filter_traces ( 过滤 )

创建新的 Snapshot instance with a filtered traces 序列, 过滤 是列表化的 Filter 实例。若 过滤 is an empty list, return a new Snapshot instance with a copy of the traces.

All inclusive filters are applied at once, a trace is ignored if no inclusive filters match it. A trace is ignored if at least one exclusive filter matches it.

classmethod load ( filename )

从文件加载快照。

另请参阅 dump() .

statistics ( group_by: str , cumulative: bool=False )

Get statistics as a sorted list of Statistic instances grouped by group_by :

group_by description
'filename' filename
'lineno' 文件名和行号
'traceback' traceback

cumulative is True , cumulate size and count of memory blocks of all frames of the traceback of a trace, not only the most recent frame. The cumulative mode can only be used with group_by equals to 'filename' and 'lineno' .

结果按从最大到最小次序: Statistic.size , Statistic.count ,然后按 Statistic.traceback .

traceback_limit

Maximum number of frames stored in the traceback of traces : result of the get_traceback_limit() when the snapshot was taken.

traces

Traces of all memory blocks allocated by Python: sequence of Trace 实例。

The sequence has an undefined order. Use the Snapshot.statistics() method to get a sorted list of statistics.

Snapshot.compare_to() returns a list of StatisticDiff instances. See also the Statistic 类。

count

Number of memory blocks in the new snapshot ( int ): 0 if the memory blocks have been released in the new snapshot.

count_diff

Difference of number of memory blocks between the old and the new snapshots ( int ): 0 if the memory blocks have been allocated in the new snapshot.

size

Total size of memory blocks in bytes in the new snapshot ( int ): 0 if the memory blocks have been released in the new snapshot.

size_diff

Difference of total size of memory blocks in bytes between the old and the new snapshots ( int ): 0 if the memory blocks have been allocated in the new snapshot.

class tracemalloc. 回溯

Sequence of Frame instances sorted from the most recent frame to the oldest frame.

回溯包含至少 1 帧。若 tracemalloc 模块无法获取帧,文件名 "<unknown>" 在行号 0 被使用。

When a snapshot is taken, tracebacks of traces are limited to get_traceback_limit() frames. See the take_snapshot() 函数。

The Trace.traceback 属性是实例化的 Traceback 实例。

format ( limit=None )

Format the traceback as a list of lines with newlines. Use the linecache module to retrieve lines from the source code. If limit is set, only format the limit most recent frames.

类似于 traceback.format_tb() 函数,除了 format() 不包括换行符。

范例:

print("Traceback (most recent call first):")
for line in traceback:
    print(line)
