Some helper functions to analyze the output of sys.getdxp() (which is
3
only available if Python was built with -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE).
4
These will tell you which opcodes have been executed most frequently
5
in the current process, and, if Python was also built with -DDXPAIRS,
6
will tell you which instruction _pairs_ were executed most frequently,
7
which may help in choosing new instructions.
9
If Python was built without -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE, importing
10
this module will raise a RuntimeError.
