PyPAPI

PyPAPI is a Python binding for the PAPI (Performance Application Programming Interface) library. PyPAPI implements the whole PAPI High Level API and partially the Low Level API.

Starting with v5.5.1.4, PyPAPI is only compatible with GCC 7.0 or higher. Please use previous releases for older GCC version.
