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
- Compute the differences between two snapshots to detect memory leaks
