# Feature or enhancement
### Proposal:
When you compile from source and open the REPL, the first line is
```
Python <version> (<HEAD>, <date>) [<compiler>] on <platform>
```
I would be happy if I knew whether I used `--with-pydebug`, `--enable-optimizations` or `--with-lto` without needing to import or check manually the Makefile. I don't want something too long but I'd like to suggest something like
```
Python <version> (<debug|release|optimized[<FLAGS>]>) (<HEAD>, <date>) [<compiler>] on <platform>
```
with optimization flags being 'pgo', 'lto' or 'bolt' (not sure if there are more optimizations that are available). Actually, I don't even where to check if it was configured using LTO or not...
### Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
### Links to previous discussion of this feature:
I couldn't find something related (hard to use the keyword "REPL" without getting thousands of results...) but I didn't search for a long time.
