Summary : Debug version of the Python 2 runtime
URL : https://www.python.org/
License : Python
Description : python2-debug provides a version of the Python 2 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 2 build,
: but is useful for tracking down reference-counting issues, and other bugs.
:
: The bytecodes are unchanged, so that .pyc files are compatible between the two
: version of Python 2, but the debugging features mean that C/C++ extension modules
: are ABI-incompatible with those built for the standard runtime.
:
: It shares installation directories with the standard Python 2 runtime, so that
: .py and .pyc files can be shared. All compiled extension modules gain a "_d"
: suffix ("foo_d.so" rather than "foo.so") so that each Python 2 implementation can
: load its own extensions.
