Oops, I didn't notice that sys.abiflags is not available on Windows! It's the same issue with 2 solutions to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/646518/python-how-to-detect-debug-interpreter * Checking for '_d.pyd' in imp.get_suffixes() => specific to Windows * sys.executable.endswith("_d.exe") => again, specific to Windows :-( That's part of my rationale in my first message, we need a portable and reliable flag to check if Python was compiled in debug mode. By the way, the StackOverflow question comes from an user who is probably not writing a test, but an application. It means that the flag is also helpful to final users. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25256> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
