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.
