I have a thread profiler. Instead of checking in each thread if
profiling is enabled, I check it in the thread profiler constructor.
If profiling is disabled, this object simply ignores all requests. I
could have used an "if" instead of "return", but this looked more
natural. Anyway, this is the only place where I use a return statement
in __init__, so you may be right.
class ThreadProfiler(object):
def __init__(self, name):
Log.root.trace()
self.__enabled = Flags().profile
if not self.__enabled:
return
import hotshot
filename = Path.GetAppFolderFile(Files.profilelog % name)
self.__profiler = hotshot.Profile(filename)
ProfilerManager().AttachProfiler(self)
