Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython: don't depend on __debug__ because it's baked in at freeze time (issue #16046)

If debug_override is not None, then it must be a boolean and is taken as - the value of __debug__ instead. + the value of bool(sys.flags.optimize) instead.

s/bool(sys.flags.optimize)/"not sys.flags.optimize"/? It may be better to just rephrase this sentence entirely to better account for the fact that we're now checking the runtime sys.flags.optimize value rather than the compile time __debug__ value.
