wxPython/distrib/README.dbg.txt

   1 This zip file contains versions of the wxWindows and wxPython binaries
   2 that have been compiled with __WXDEBUG__ defined.  This adds code to
   3 wxWindows that is a bit more agressive about checking parameter
   4 values, return values, and etc.  When the debugging library senses
   5 something is wrong it will popup a message dialog telling you so.
   6 Unfortunately the message is specific to the C++ code but it might
   7 give you a hint about what went wrong and how to fix it.

   9 Another debugging feature is when the wxPython program exits, it will
  10 print to stdout information about any wxWindows C++ objects that
  11 havn't been properly cleaned up.

  13 This archive contains a new wxWindows DLL named wx[version]d.dll and a
  14 debugging version of the core wxPython module, wxc_d.pyd.  These
  15 should be put into your wxPython package directory.  Also included are
  16 the debuging version of Python, python_d.exe and python[VER]_d.dll
  17 which can be put wherever you like.

  19 In order to run the debugging version of wxPython sumply run you
  20 program with python_d.exe instead of python.exe.  This lets the
  21 debugging version sit side by side with the production version, with
  22 no need for swapping this around.  You will also need _d versions of
  23 any other extension modules you are using.  If you need _d's for any
  24 of the other standard Python extensions you can get them here, for 2.0
  25 at least:
