Description

There are various django apps which monkeypatch Django internals to add profiling for statistics. These are of course well known apps like django-debug-toolbar, django-mozilla-statsd etc.

I think a much cleaner solution is to provide official hooks instead of monkey-patches on top of monkey-patches :-)

Currently thinking about:

  • Database Cursor, for tracking execution time of sql
  • Template rendering time
  • Cache retrieval etc.

I'm willing to create a patch if there is any interest.

I'm going to mark this accepted based on the principle that extension APIs for real-world use cases are always welcome, and profiling definitely qualifies as a real-world use case.

However, this needs specifics.
