How to install py-spy

Py-spy is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Py-spy is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

How releases reach a machine

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Check compatibility first

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Checking the result

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.

Notes on this domain

Nothing is published from this domain beyond text. Projects stay where their maintainers put them.
