NameError: name 'profile' is not defined

[aphearin]

@rkern - I have recently installed line_profiler using pip, with no apparent problems. I attempt to run the exact trivial test in #35 and run into the exact same error message. #35 refers to #25 as the resolution to the problem, but reading through #25 I do not see where the problem was resolved. I use OS X with python 2.7.11

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/aphearin/anaconda/bin/kernprof", line 11, in sys.exit(main()) File "/Users/aphearin/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kernprof.py", line 221, in main execfile(script_file, ns, ns) File "hello_world.py", line 2, in @profile NameError: name 'profile' is not defined

The solution mentioned in #25 seems to be only implemented in the master branch, not in the pip package. Uninstalling the pip version, cloning the git repo and manually running setup.py (requires cython) helps.

@rkern maybe it's time for another release, since this bug keeps appearing in the issues ?

[aphearin]

Ahh, ok, yes, thanks, I uninstalled, cloned master 19603402e8686407dd19882fd80764d15b2f8499, ran python setup.py install, and then it works as advertised. Thanks @Bernhard10 . I'm now able to use the code, which is great, but I guess I'd like to second @Nodd and suggest considering a new release. Either way, thanks to @rkern for this extremely useful tool.

Hiya, just thought I'd point out that the pip version still hasn't been updated to reflect #25. Is there a reason for this? I spent a little while trying to figure out what on earth I was doing wrong before realising the fault wasn't with me.

[thomasaarholt]

Actually, I have this problem with master as well. I'm calling it using Jupyter Notebook according to the code below. I've inserted @profile above the appropriate function, and ran kernprof -1 filewithfunction.py

%matplotlib qt4 
%load_ext line_profiler
import hyperspy.api as hs

path = "mypath"
filename = "myfile.test"

%lprun -f hs.load(path+filename)

I've tried installing it via pip install -e ./ and python setup.py install, without any difference.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Having tried #65, I see that master hasn't been updated for iPython 5. I guess that's why I was having trouble. I've tested the branch - which didn't help, until I did: %lprun import hyperspy.api as hs

I think I may simply be using line_profiler a bit wrongly.

New 2.0 release should fix this (reopen if there's still a problem, please).
