Help on built-in module _tracemalloc:

## NAME
    _tracemalloc - Debug module to trace memory blocks allocated by Python.

## FUNCTIONS
### clear_traces
        Clear traces of memory blocks allocated by Python.

### get_traceback_limit
        Get the maximum number of frames stored in the traceback of a trace.

        By default, a trace of an allocated memory block only stores
        the most recent frame: the limit is 1.

### get_traced_memory
        Get the current size and peak size of memory blocks traced by tracemalloc.

        Returns a tuple: (current: int, peak: int).

### get_tracemalloc_memory
        Get the memory usage in bytes of the tracemalloc module.

        This memory is used internally to trace memory allocations.

### is_tracing
        Return True if the tracemalloc module is tracing Python memory allocations.

### reset_peak
        Set the peak size of memory blocks traced by tracemalloc to the current size.

        Do nothing if the tracemalloc module is not tracing memory allocations.

### start
        Start tracing Python memory allocations.

        Also set the maximum number of frames stored in the traceback of a
        trace to nframe.

### stop
        Stop tracing Python memory allocations.

        Also clear traces of memory blocks allocated by Python.
