> thanks, it would be great if this were documented in the --help section like > the other options which require a debug build (-X showrefcount) PyConfig.show_ref_count documentation explains that a debug build is required: "Need a debug build of Python (Py_REF_DEBUG macro must be defined)." https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#c.PyConfig.show_ref_count By the way, it would be nice to add a link on "debug build" to explain how to detect if Python is built in debug mode and how to build Python in debug mode. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42521> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
