Managing memory usage is critical, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex models. Python's tracemalloc module allows users to trace memory blocks allocated by Python. It can be a lifesaver when debugging memory leaks or just for understanding where most of the memory is being consumed.
Here's how you can utilize it:
```
import tracemalloc
# Start tracing memory allocations
tracemalloc.start()
# Your code that might be memory-intensive
x = [i for i in range(1000000)]
# Capture the current snapshot and display the top 5 memory-consuming lines
snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot.statistics('lineno') # or 'filename' or 'traceback'
# Display the top 5 lines consuming memory
for stat in top_stats[:5]:
print(stat)
```
