memray

name	memray
description	Profile the memory usage of a Python script using memray and visualize a temporal flamegraph in the browser. Use when the user wants to investigate memory consumption, find leaks, or understand allocation patterns.
compatibility	Requires the pixi profiling environment (pixi run -e profiling). Supports Linux and macOS.
allowed-tools	Bash(pixi run -e profiling memray-run:*) Bash(pixi run -e profiling memray-flame:*) Bash(open:*) Bash(xdg-open:*) Bash(python -m webbrowser:*)

Steps

1. Ask the user which script to profile (full or relative path).

2. Run the script under memray:

   pixi run -e profiling memray-run script.py
   

   This produces a binary file named memray-script.py.<pid>.bin in the current directory.

3. Generate the flamegraph HTML report from the .bin file:

   pixi run -e profiling memray-flame memray-script.py.<pid>.bin
   

   Replace <pid> with the actual PID shown in the filename. This writes memray-flamegraph-script.py.<pid>.html.

4. Open the report in the browser:

   • macOS: open memray-flamegraph-script.py.<pid>.html
   • Linux: xdg-open memray-flamegraph-script.py.<pid>.html
