How To Install python-debug.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-debug.x86_64 in Amazon Linux 2. python-debug.x86_64 is Debug version of the Python runtime
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python-debug.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2.
What is python-debug.x86_64
python-debug provides a version of the Python runtime with numerous debugging features enabled, aimed at advanced Python users, such as developers of Python extension modules. This version uses more memory and will be slower than the regular Python build, but is useful for tracking down reference-counting issues, and other bugs. The bytecodes are unchanged, so that .pyc files are compatible between the two version of Python, but the debugging features mean that C/C++ extension modules are ABI-incompatible with those built for the standard runtime. It shares installation directories with the standard Python runtime, so that .py and .pyc files can be shared. All compiled extension modules gain a “_d” suffix (“foo_d.so” rather than “foo.so”) so that each Python implementation can load its own extensions.
We can use yum to install python-debug.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install python-debug.x86_64.
Install python-debug.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
After updating yum database, We can install python-debug.x86_64 using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install python-debug.x86_64
How To Uninstall python-debug.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2
To uninstall only the python-debug.x86_64 package we can use the following command:
sudo yum remove python-debug.x86_64
