perf has a python module for offline analysis & scripting, but adding USE="python" does not work at all - nothing is built or installed. AFAICT this bug has existed forever. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build perf with USE="python" 2. start python2, run "import perf" 3. no perf :(
Created attachment 568176 [details, diff] Patch to build & install python module This works for python2; not sure what the status of python3 support in upstream perf is.
Still an issue with 5.1.15.
OK. That should be addressed in the next revision Official instruction to build python extension (with python3): https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/66dfdff03d196e51322c6a85c0d8db8bb2bdd655
