Live mode (--live) provides a terminal-based real-time view of profiling data, similar to the top command for system processes
python -m profiling.sampling run --live script.py python -m profiling.sampling attach --live 12345
Live mode displays real-time profiling statistics, showing combined data from multiple threads in a multi-threaded application.
The display updates continuously as new samples arrive, showing the current hottest functions. This mode requires the curses module, which is available on Unix-like systems but not on Windows. The terminal must be at least 60 columns wide and 12 lines tall; larger terminals display more columns.
The header displays the top 3 hottest functions, sampling efficiency metrics, and thread status statistics (GIL held percentage, CPU usage, GC time). The main table shows function statistics with the currently sorted column indicated by an arrow
