Trying to install cProfile with pip and I'm getting an error
So I've looked around everywhere for help on how to install cProfile and I've found nothing. When this usually happens I turn to pip and run the usual: 'pip install [module name]' but I'm getting the error: No matching distribution found for cprofile.
I have no idea how to install cProfile and I've looked everywhere. I rarely turn to StackOverflow and when I did I thoroughly searched it for a question like this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Shorthand question: How do I install cProfile?
Answer
Normally it is included in the Python's standard library. What Python version are you using? You can verify that with:
python -V
What pip version are you using? You can verify that with:
pip -V
and upgrade it with:
pip install -U pip
What is the output when you try to run cProfile in package mode directly through the bash, like:
python -m cProfile -o profile_output script.py
Morevover, the official documentation recommends using profile if cProfile is not available on your system, as they are mostly interchangeable. Please refer to The Python Profilers Official Documentation.
