When this came up 18 months ago on Python-Dev, it was part of a thread about adding more optimizations to CPython. Guido said "+1" to the idea of being able to disable the optimizers (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-December/123099.html). Our need is not as great as C's, the unrecognizability of the compiled code is much less, but current optimizations are already interfering with the ability to debug and analyze code, and new optimizations will only broaden the possibility of interference.
So I'm a bit confused. This was debated on python-dev and (presumably) agreement reached, so why does it need a whole new thread here? Paul
