STINNER Victor [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Converting to the lower case doesn't solve the problem: if the locale is utf8 and Python checks for utf-8, the optimization will fail. Another example: iso-8859-1, latin-1 or latin1? A correct patch would be to get the most common name of

2008-10-27 Thread Robin Dunn
New submission from Robin Dunn [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It looks like part of r59290 resulted in /pdb:None always being part of the ldflags_shared_debug list. This means that there will be no debug info stored for extensions built in debug mode, which kinda negates the purpose of doing a debug build.
