thread, it was discovered that, stumpingly enough, it seems not
possible to debug extension modules!
* For a release Python, it's not even possible to build an extension
without optimizations
* For a debug Python, it's possible to build but not possible to
install it, or any other package that depends on it
I see now that it's possible to write `<...>\cpython\python.bat setup.py
build --debug install' to install a single package containing an
extension. pip is still broken though: try e.g. to install `scandir' (a
dependency of IPython) with it.
Moreover, the feedback says that it makes no sense to build an
extension with _DEBUG against a release Python and vice versa. But
distutils' build_ext logic does (or at least trying to do since that
breaks) just this, as it looks at the --debug option to `build'
instead of checking the type of the running Python.
Am I missing something crucial here, or do I need to fix distutils now
to be able to debug a problem in my extension module?
