Running PythonNN.DLL as debug or release?

[Stephen Kellett]

Hi Folks,

We've been using Python embedded in an application for a while now, 
where the Python dll is PythonNN.dll, NN being the version number, such 
as Python24.dll.

Recently it was pointed out to me that Python can run in a debug or 
release configuration and that you can specify this on the command line 
using -O and -OO.

My question is how do I specify this to the Python DLL I have embedded 
in my application? Is it as straightforward as:
o Use PythonNN.dll for release mode Python
o Use PythonNN_d.dll for debug mode Python

and if so, how do I specify I want -O or -OO with release mode?

I've tried looking at the C API documentation but couldn't find anything 
useful there.

We are using versions of Python from 2.2 upwards.

Cheers

Stephen
