VS Code plugin

[rafaelha]

I made a VS Code plugin that integrates nicely with py-spy. See here on VS Code Marketplace or GitHub.

It improves on the py-spy generated SVGs in several ways:

• Inline profiling annotation on the left of the actual code in the editor
• Jupyter notebook support (with inline annotations in the cells)
• A flamegraph react app in vscode with click-to-source

I found that flame graphs can be a bit overwhelming at first for users unfamiliar with profiling. But inline annotations are easy to interpret. With this plugin, I really tried making profiling as easy as possible to lower the entry barrier for anyone interested in profiling their Python code.

Would you be interested in adding a link to this extension in the py-spy readme?

This is excellent, thank you!
