I am delighted to announce the release 1.0.1 of Austin. If you haven&#x27;t heard of Austin before, it is a frame stack sampler for CPython. It can be used to obtain statistical profiling data out of a running Python application without a single line of instrumentation. This means that you can start profiling a Python application straightaway, even while it&#x27;s running on a production environment, with minimal impact on performance.<p>The simplest way of using Austin is by piping its output to FlameGraph for a quick and detailed representation of the collected samples. The latest release introduces a memory profiling mode which allows you to profile memory usage.<p>Austin is a pure C application that has no other dependencies other than the C standard library. Its source code is hosted on GitHub at<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;P403n1x87&#x2F;austin" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;P403n1x87&#x2F;austin</a><p>The README contains installation and usage details, as well as some examples of Austin in action. Details on how to contribute to Austin&#x27;s development can be found at the bottom of the page.<p>Austin v1.0.1 is also the first version of Austin to be available from Homebrew for easy installation on MacOS. These are the other places where Austin can be installed from:<p>Linux:<p><pre><code> Snap Store Debian repositories </code></pre> Windows:<p><pre><code> Chocolatey </code></pre> Furthermore, you can stay up-to-date with the project&#x27;s development by following Austin on Twitter (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AustinSampler" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;AustinSampler</a>).
