Include debug/release and optimization level in the Python build/version line #137151
Closed as not planned
Description
Hi,
When discussing issues like this one and printing out Python lines etc. it would be nice if the given CPython build line like this:
Python 3.15.0a0 (heads/main:c6e6fe92cd8, Jul 20 2025, 13:06:47) [GCC 13.3.0] on linux
would include information regarding how the given CPython version was compiled: whether it uses LTO, whether --enable-optimizations was enabled etc.
Maybe we could have some letters like: O for optimized, L for LTO, P for PGO, B for LLVM's BOLT? Maybe even O{1,2,3} for -O{1,2,3} if we allow for choosing this.
Additionally, we could have some _testcapi.compiler_options string?
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
I am not sure.
