"""
Some helper functions to analyze the output of sys.getdxp() (which is
only available if Python was built with -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE).
These will tell you which opcodes have been executed most frequently
in the current process, and, if Python was also built with -DDXPAIRS,
will tell you which instruction _pairs_ were executed most frequently,
which may help in choosing new instructions.

If Python was built without -DDYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE, importing
this module will raise a RuntimeError.

If you're running a script you want to profile, a simple way to get
the common pairs is:

$ PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<python_srcdir>/Tools/scripts \
./python -i -O the_script.py --args
...
> from analyze_dxp import *
> s = render_common_pairs()
> open('/tmp/some_file', 'w').write(s)
