<div dir="ltr">Hi Ned,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for replying. Its a Python App running on django. Yes I can figure out a way to gracefully stop it and start it again as we are running bunch of the instances at a time. this is the option with us but I was looking that if there is any configuration in coverage.py with which I can expect the dump intermediately. </div><div>Another thing which if you can make me understand is how coverage.py keeps data in memory. Let say if i let it runs for a month, does it going to increase the memory usage with time or it loads all the source code and maintain a dictionary with flag 0 or 1 for every line. If its like that then it will not use the more memory with time, it will just mark the 1 for the lines executed.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Ankit Chopra</div><div> </div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 3:55 AM, Ned Batchelder <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ned@nedbatchelder.com" target="_blank">ned@nedbatchelder.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

What kind of application is it, why does it run so long, and is
there a natural unit of work that you could take advantage of? For
example, if it's a web application, the simplest thing would be to
measure coverage on a worker process, and start and stop workers on
the frequency you want.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
