installing debug symbols

[sanam singh]

hi,
i am using ubuntu 9.10. it comes with preinstalled python2.6 having no debug symbols.How can i add debug symbols to it. Secondly i cant afford to install a fresh python version using OPT=-g way. Please tell me how can i add symbols to existing python2.6.
The error that i get in gdb when i attach a pid to it is :
Loaded symbols for /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/random/mtrand.so
Reading symbols from /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_ctypes.so...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_ctypes.so...done.
(no debugging symbols found)...done.
