The source code with @profile directive before the function we want to profile:
import requests
@profile
def slow_func():
s = requests.session()
html=s.get("https://en.wikipedia.org/").text
sum([pow(ord(x),3.1) for x in list(html)])
for i in range(50):
slow_func()
Using kernprof command to calculate profiling line by line
$ kernprof -lv so6.py
Wrote profile results to so6.py.lprof
Timer unit: 4.27654e-07 s
Total time: 22.6427 s
