About:
Memray is a comprehensive memory profiler for Python applications that tracks memory allocations and provides detailed insights into memory usage. It can generate various reports including flame graphs, timeline visualizations, and statistical summaries to help developers identify memory leaks and optimize memory consumption.

Key Features:

Tracks memory allocations and deallocations with low overhead
Generates multiple report types: flame graphs, timelines, and tabular summaries
Works with native Python code, C extensions, and native libraries
Provides memory leak detection and high-water mark analysis
Supports both live profiling and offline analysis of captured data

Use Cases:

Identifying memory leaks in long-running Python applications
Optimizing memory usage in data-intensive applications
Debugging unexpected memory growth in production systems
Analyzing memory patterns during application development

Alternatives:

tracemalloc – Built-in Python module with basic tracking, less comprehensive than Memray
memory-profiler – Line-by-line profiler, focuses on incremental memory usage rather than total allocations
objgraph – Object reference graph generator, more manual analysis required
