Description: # nose-cprof
        
        A plugin to use cProfile to profile
        [nosetests](https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), rather than the built-in
        Hotshot profiler.
        
        Profiling tests can help track down sources of performance issues in code,
        especially if a synthetic test can be created to focus on the area of concern.
        
        The output generated by this plugin can easily be browsed using
        [pstats\_viewer](https://github.com/msherry/pstats_viewer), or any other
        pstats-compatible viewer.
        
        ## Getting started
        
        ### Prerequisites
        
        This is a plugin for [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), so it's
        useless without that installed.
        
        ### Installation
        
        `pip install nose-cprof`
        
        ### Usage
        
        This plugin adds some new options to `nosetests`:
        
        ```
        --with-cprofile       Enable plugin cProfiler:  Use this plugin to run tests
                              using the cProfile profiler.  [NOSE_WITH_CPROFILE]
        --cprofile-stats-file=FILE
                              Output file name; default "stats.dat"
        --cprofile-stats-erase
                              Erase previously-collected profiling statistics before
                              run
        ```
