[Django]-Django Server 100% cpu for no apparent reason

you can connect to the process and attach a debugger. i have done this before and it’s very useful. my full notes are here, but the abridged version is:

  • install this so that gdb “understands” python

  • connect using gdb -p PID (PID from ps or similar)

  • generate a stack trace in gdb and you’ll see exactly where you are eating up CPU.

original credit – Showing the stack trace from a running Python application (in fact, after typing all that, maybe this is a dupe of the linked question? i guess the question is different, even if the answer is the same…)
