asparagus 0.1.0

Django middleware to log object leaks

This is a Django middleware to track down object leaks in your Django application.

To use it, add asparagus.middleware.TrackObjectLeaks to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES. It should be in the first position.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [‘asparagus.middleware.TrackObjectLeaks’] + MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES

The middleware will print a summary of any objects created but not garbage collected.

if you set the settings ASPARAGUS_TRACK_CLASS to a name of an object (e.g. Thread, then the middleware will render a PNG of the references to any newly created objects.

Note, this is not something you ever want in production. Best to use it to find leaks then remove it from settings entirely.
