[issue11656] Debug builds for Windows would be very helpful

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Jack: what's the issue with the external dependencies? Just run Tool/buildbot/external.bat (or external-amd64.bat, or external-common.bat), and be done.

If you merely want to debug your extension modules, I recommend *not* to turn on Py_DEBUG, but only enable generation of debug information in the VS project.

In any case, I'm not willing to provide binary Py_DEBUG builds. So unless somebody else steps forward to volunteer, I close this as "won't fix".
