[New-bugs-announce] [issue23034] Dynamically control debugging output

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

When Python is compiled with some defined macros (e.g. COUNT_ALLOCS) it prints additional debugging output at shutdown. This additional output can cause tests failure (see issue19527). It would be good if Python will silent by default and produce debugging output only if special command line option or environment variable is set.

Debugging output switched by Py_REF_DEBUG is now enabled only when "-X showrefcount" is specified (issue17323).
