* Package name    : python-pysizer
  Version         : 0.1.1
  Upstream Authors: Nick Smallbone
* URL             : http://pysizer.8325.org/
* License         : BSD-like
  Programming Lang: Python, basically
  Description     : memory profiler for Python
 PySizer lets you analyse the memory usage of your Python programs and
 makes data such as memory usage by objects of a certain type readily
 available.
 This package contains the parts of PySizer written in Python. There
 is an optional patch to python itself to collect more information, but
 that has not been compiled into the stock Debian python binaries.

As always, suggestions (better description, etc.) are very welcome.
There might be room for improvement.
python-pysizer will likely be comaintained by the python-modules team.

I'm not yet sure what to do about the patch to the python interpreter,
PySizer is very useful even without it, though.

PySizer has an advantage over Heapy (cp. ITP #409740) in that the pure
python parts are useful by themselves. (Heapy presently segfaults on
amd64 and I have not found a fix yet).

Kind regards

T.
