Which brings up a question:

    How does one get distutils to do this?  Is there an option for it? 
    Anyone know?

I often find myself using printf instead of a debugger because getting a 
debug Python build (with all the extra libraries) is such a pain.  I'd 
really like to find out that:

    setup.py build --debug-with-release-python=1

or whatever, would build with the debugging info.

Inquiring minds want to know,
Mike
