I'm trying to profile an application written using PySide and OpenCV and am getting strange behaviour with the profiler. I run my code using the following line:
python -m cProfile -o output.file repo/src/application_window.py
It tends to work for very short runs of the program. If I open it and load an image (it's an animation editor), output.file appears as expected. However, if I actually use the program (move through animation frames, etc.) there is no output. It generates no error messages or crash information - just nothing. The same problem occurs if I try to write the results to the console - sometimes it just produces no output.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
Edit: The call terminates as expected - but produces no output. It doesn't hang.
Edit2 - Here is the main function of application_window.py:
def main():
a = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
editor = Editor(sys.argv[0])
editor.show()
sys.exit(a.exec_())
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Editor is a fairly complicated QT Widget. So all application_window really does is start the QT event loop.
