<p class="versionadded">
<span class="versionmodified">New in version 2.2.</span></p>
<p>This module provides a nicer interface to the <tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">_hotshot</span></tt> C module. Hotshot
is a replacement for the existing <a class="reference internal" href="profile.html#module-profile" title="profile: Python source profiler."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">profile</span></tt></a> module. As it’s written mostly
in C, it should result in a much smaller performance impact than the existing
<a class="reference internal" href="profile.html#module-profile" title="profile: Python source profiler."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">profile</span></tt></a> module.</p>

the expense of long data post-processing times. For common usage it is
recommended to use <a class="reference internal" href="profile.html#module-cProfile" title="cProfile"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">cProfile</span></tt></a> instead. <a class="reference internal" href="#module-hotshot" title="hotshot: High performance logging profiler, mostly written in C."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">hotshot</span></tt></a> is not maintained and
