if __debug__: log(factorial(2**15)) Running python with -O will squash this statement. To have something inline, you could also abuse assert statements to do the job. def debug_log(x): log(x) return True assert debug_log(factorial(2**15)) In optimized builds, the statement will be removed entirely.

For the logging module it will be extremely useful if Python included a way to disactivate processing certain blocks to avoid making sacrifices between extensive logging harness and performance. For example, instead of writing:
if log.DEBUG==True: log(factorial(2**15))
It should be possible to just write: log(factorial(2**15))
if if log() is an instance of some Nopable class, the statement in log's braces is not executed. -- anatoly t.
