[Python-Dev] Issue #25256: Add sys.debug_build? (original) (raw)

Speaking of other python implementations - why would you even care? (the pypy debug build has very different properties and does very different stuff for example). I would be very happy to have this clearly marked as implementation-dependent and that's why it would be cool to not be in sys (there are already 5 symbols there for this reason, so hasattr totalrefcount is cool enough)

Whats wrong with:

sysconfig.getconfigvar('PyDEBUG') 0 Again, refer to my first message "On the Internet, I found various recipes to check if Python is compiled is debug mode. Sadly, some of them are not portable." I don't think that sysconfig.getconfigvar('PyDEBUG') will work on other Python implementations. On Windows, there is no such file like "Makefile" used to fill syscofig.getconfigvars() :-( sysconfig.initnonposix() only fills a few variables like BINDIR or INCLUDEPY, but not PyDEBUG. Victor
