+the memory behavior of Python objects in a running Python application.
+
+By pympling a Python application, detailed insight in the size and the
+lifetime of Python objects can be obtained.  Undesirable or unexpected
+runtime behavior like memory bloat and other @samp{pymples} can easily
+be identified.
+
+A web profiling frontend exposes process statistics, garbage
+visualisation and class tracker statistics.")
