In any case, the kernprof script will be installed (without the .py extension) through the normal installation process that is described in the README.

4 years ago Thank you for the repsonse (I actually thought I posted the question in the "real" repo).
In the the README I do not seem to find how to use the profiler. Yes, the line kernprof -l script_to_profile.py is there but not what kernprof here refers to. Running that line gives the kernprof command not found. The kernprof script is mentioned, and assuming it is the kernprof.py in the repo then you would need to clone the repo to use it (also, how would you use that script ?).
There might be some implicit steps which I am missing, but... how do you go from a fresh install of the packages to use it? I have read the README several times

4 years ago After following the installation instructions, a kernprof script (with no extension) should have been installed where Python executable scripts normally get installed, whatever that happens to be for your Python installation. If you are running from the current release, there may be a bug with that; I have not followed the development since handing it over.

4 years ago Okay, that makes more sense - I will open an issue on the other repo then.
In the documentation it is stated that you can run the following
kernprof -l script_to_profile.pybut what is kernprof? Is it the python-script named "kernprof.py", and should that be added to PATH ? A more in-depth explanation of what is would be great for new-commers.
