Python 3.10+threadingfunction

threading.getprofile()

tracing and profiling

Returns the profiling function set with threading.setprofile() for new threads, or None if there is none.

Syntax

threading.getprofile()

It returns exactly what was passed to threading.setprofile(), not the current thread's profiler: sys.getprofile() reads that, and the two can differ. Use it to install your own function temporarily and restore the previous one later. setprofile_all_threads() changes this value as well.

Examples

import sys
import threading
print(threading.getprofile())  # → None
def prof(frame, event, arg):
    pass
threading.setprofile(prof)
print(threading.getprofile() is prof, sys.getprofile())  # → True None
threading.setprofile(None)
