Thanks, Ronald. It looks to me as if MacPython already includes the -g flags appropriately (at least build-script.py does); could I just download 2.5.4 from python.org and use that for debugging?
Not necessarily. Apple's version of python includes a number of patches, some of which will affect the debug symbols (such as some support for dtrace).
What I tend to do when I need to debug C code is to develop using the python.org installer which, as you mentioned, contains debugging symbols. The resulting C code should then work fine with the Apple installation of python. For really annoying bugs I have yet another seperate installation that was compiled using --with-pydebug, this tends to be the most helpful when dealing with refcounting bugs in C extensions.

I haven't checked if this includes the configure invocation, although you could always use distutils to query the value of 'CONFIG_ARGS' .

To do that, I need a version of Python that's compiled with debug symbolsin it. What's the correct invocation to build a debug version of Python (2.5) which matches what ships with OS X 10.5.7? I don't intend to replace the system Python; I just want to match it as closely as possible for debugging.
