Static Python Perf

Steps to Run Static Python

(Taken from cinder/python-build-env.)

Note

You must have already installed and set up Docker on your machine.

1. Clone the cinder respotory.

git clone https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder.git

2. Run the following docker command.

docker run -v "$PWD/cinder:/vol" -w /vol -it --rm ghcr.io/facebookincubator/cinder/python-build-env:latest bash

3. pull the changes (git pull).
4. ls, and navigate to the file that needs to be run (./call-method/shallow).
5. Run the following command:

/vol/python -m cinderx.compiler --static module.py

(old command used -m compiler)
