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!
