Loaded plugins: ovl, priorities
Available Packages
Name : python3-debug

Repo : amzn2-core/2/x86_64
Summary : Debug version of the Python runtime
URL : https://www.python.org/
License : Python
Description : python3-debug provides a version of the Python runtime with
: numerous debugging features enabled, aimed at advanced Python
: users such as developers of Python extension modules.
:
: This version uses more memory and will be slower than the regular
: Python build, but is useful for tracking down reference-counting
: issues and other bugs.
:
: The bytecode format is unchanged, so that .pyc files are
: compatible between this and the standard version of Python, but
: the debugging features mean that C/C++ extension modules are
: ABI-incompatible and must be built for each version separately.
:
: The debug build shares installation directories with the standard
: Python runtime, so that .py and .pyc files can be shared.
: Compiled extension modules use a special ABI flag ("d") in the
: filename, so extensions for both versions can co-exist in the same
: directory.
