Output a new profile programmatically

[Salah-Shihaibi]

Is there a way to output a new profile report programmatically in python?

I am unsure what you're asking, perhaps you're asking about the --json flag or the --profile-interval flag?

Sorry the question was a bit vague, I have a python script shown below and I was wondering if there was a function 'print_profile_json' that can print out the json file before the code stops executing. --profile-interval does this periodically but I was wondering if it can be done by sending a signal from python.

do_something_forever():
        '''some code'''
    scalene_profiler.start()
        '''some code'''
    scalene_profiler.stop()
    scalene_profiler.print_profile_json(file_path='/data')
        ''' some code'''


if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        do_something_forever()
        time.sleep(0.5)

python -m scalene --reduced-profile --off main.py

did you find a solution for this? I'm trying to grasp the output in a python-dict format as well programmatically #546
