[Python-Dev] Add a developer mode to Python: -X dev command line option (original) (raw)

My draft addition to the -X dev doc: """ The developer mode is different from the "debug mode" of some modules of the standard library which enables a lot of debug logs. The developer mode should only log a warning if a potential bug is detected.

The developer mode has a limited effect. Many modules of the standard library have their own "debug mode" which is not enabled in the developer mode. See also the :data:__debug__ flag disabled by the :option:-O option, and :data:sys.flags.debug enabled by the :option:-d option. """

You forgot the infamous -d option!

Honestly, I never used debug nor sys.flags.debug.

I like adding yet another option to confuse people a little bit more!

Running an application in debug mode or "developer mode" was never recommanded by anyone. I don't know. Almost everyone runs Python with debug set to True :-) Regards Antoine.
