mprof script not runnable on windows about memory_profiler

[pankon]

I was trying to the batch file above, I remember, from a Windows standard command prompt, and wasn't able to until I added this folder to the executable path. Windows searches paths for executables in a manner similar to python searches for libraries. This library is very helpful in benchmarking, thanks a ton!

Thanks for the report. I don't have a Windows OS at the moment, could you tell me what is the error it gives ?

The file is not runnable under windows since there is no extension. If .py extension is added, and also a .bat file added with the following contents then the installation will work as intended under windows.

@echo off
python "%~dpn0.py" %*

@Agrisolum : do I understand you right?

1. I have to rename the file mprof (which is in Scripts folder of Python after installation) to mprof.py?
2. I have to put a mprof.bat with above mentioned content into the same folder?

Cheers

I did it as stated above and it works! Thanks a lot!

Agrisolum, it works! Thanks

Might have to add the python folder to the batch file path though to run it from cmd

@pankon what do you mean? could you give an example please?

This can probably be closed.

Switching to using python entry points should help, I'll try to submit a PR
