5529	Remove lineprofiler from prereqs	Tom Goddard	Tom Goddard	"I think we can git remove the prereqs/lineprofiler directory.  It is not currently used.  Binary wheels for PyPi lineprofiler are available.  This is something developers can optionally pip install into ChimeraX when needed.

It appears that lineprofiler 3.3.1 on PyPi is available as binary wheels for Python 3.9 for Windows, Mac and Linux.  So I think we could get rid of prereqs/lineprofiler and put it in prereqs/pips/app_requirements.txt commented out for installation when a developer wants it.  Or better when the ""devel install lineprofiler"" command is working for installing pypi packages from a ChimeraX command that can be used to get it.

lineprofiler is for the --lineprofile option.  Because it is difficult to get to automatically build on Windows(?) you have to install it by hand to use it, but in some situations it is pretty handy.

I have about the same question, but with prereqs/lineprofiler
