1. The Rust macro include_str includes a UTF-8 encoded file as a string; the Rust macro include_bytes includes a file as a reference to a byte array. Both of those 2 macros load files into the Rust binary at compile time and consume memory at run time. It might not be a good idea to use them for large files!

Tips and Traps¶

This module provides basic mechanisms for measuring and controlling system resources utilized by a process and its subprocesses. It cannot be used to check resource usage of other processes.

Use the resource Library¶

Please refer to Hands on the resource Module in Python for more details.

Use the tracemalloc Library¶

https://docs.python.org/3/library/tracemalloc.html#module-tracemalloc

The tracemalloc module is a debug tool to trace memory blocks allocated by Python. It provides the following information:

• Traceback where an object was allocated
• Statistics on allocated memory blocks per filename and per line number: total size, number and average size of allocated memory blocks
