No - that does not change the options. I think it only links against a version
of the python lib, which has been compiled for debugging.

However, I want to debug my own extention - not the python interpretor.

I'm not the first to have this problem:

but that solution only works for the windows environment.
I'm on OpenBSD, and would prefer to stay there also while debugging...
