What is python3-yappi

python3-yappi is:

Yappi stands for Yet Another Python Profiler. It supports Multithread/CPU time profiling.

CPython standard distribution comes with three profilers. cProfile, Profile and hotshot. cProfile is implemented as a C module based on lsprof, Profile is in pure Python and hotshot can be seen as a small subset of a cProfile.

The major issue is that all of these profilers lack support for multi-threaded programs and CPU time.

If you want to profile a multi-threaded application, you must give an entry point to these profilers and then maybe merge the outputs. None of these profilers are designed to work on long-running multi-threaded application. It is impossible to profile an application retrieve the statistics then stop and then start later on the fly (without affecting the profiled application).
