The process of profiling takes the identification of bottlenecks (parts of the code that run slowly) followed by their more or less successful removal. As described in the previous post about profiling you can get helped by using a profile middleware. The solution is all fine, but the problem remains how to identify a bottleneck.

I don’t really like to put print statements in my code in order to do debugging. Actually the only thing I hate more is putting get-time-like functions before and after certain part of code.

I’ve put the k-nearest neighbours algorithm on work. The algorithm finds the nearest k samples to the [...]

Or tried to convince someone you need more time to plan software, not just to write software? Show these people some graphs. They’ll get it. Or at least you’ll get it they’ll never get it.
The title should [...]
