[BangPypers] How to create Debug and Release code in Python

Hello,
We would like to have debug and release versions of our scripts. However
since the scripts are directly used by the 'users' and they are not real
software guys...maintaining two different scripts and then keeping them
synchronized across 15-20 workstations etc is not something that the
management wants.
Scripts are complex enough that we cannot abstract out all the variables
into config files....which might have been easier for users (just change
parameters in a config file)
*Is there a way to create a conditionally compilable Python script ?* Some
facility that would prevent from code getting compiled into
".pyc"....something like the old #ifdef #endif preprocessor directives....is
there a Python preprocessory available :)
if thats doable I can ask them to make all experimental modifications within
the conditional directives. I could still ask them to do that using simple
if's and bool parameters, however, putting too many ifs might degrade the
performance of these scripts. ("the lesser the branches the better it is for
processor performance...more so for super scalar processors")
We cannot use the, often unknown, __debug__ flag, because our users would
like to simply double-click on a python file, which means to use the -O or
-OO options (which sets __debug__ to False) we'd have to make windows python
command line have these, and then double clicking would be of no use if you
want the run stuff inside the __debug__.
Any and every help is most welcome :)
Thanks and best regards,
Vishal Sapre
