python-dev-is-python3
Starting with the Debian 11 [bullseye] and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS [focal] releases, all python packages use explicit python3 or python2 interpreter and do not use unversioned /usr/bin/python-config at all. Some third-party code is now predominantly python3 based, yet may use /usr/bin/python-config.
This is a convenience package which ships a symlink to point /usr/bin/python-config script at the current default python3. It may improve compatibility with other modern systems, whilst breaking some obsolete or 3rd-party software.
No packages may declare dependencies on this package.

The Python debugger
[email protected]:~# pdb -h
usage: pdb.py [-c command] ... [-m module | pyfile] [arg] ...
Debug the Python program given by pyfile. Alternatively,
an executable module or package to debug can be specified using
the -m switch.
Initial commands are read from .pdbrc files in your home directory
and in the current directory, if they exist. Commands supplied with
-c are executed after commands from .pdbrc files.
To let the script run until an exception occurs, use "-c continue".
To let the script run up to a given line X in the debugged file, use
"-c 'until X'".
pydocThe Python documentation tool
[email protected]:~# pydoc -h
pydoc - the Python documentation tool
pydoc ...
Show text documentation on something. may be the name of a
Python keyword, topic, function, module, or package, or a dotted
reference to a class or function within a module or module in a
package. If contains a '/', it is used as the path to a
Python source file to document. If name is 'keywords', 'topics',
or 'modules', a listing of these things is displayed.
pydoc -k
Search for a keyword in the synopsis lines of all available modules.
pydoc -n
Start an HTTP server with the given hostname [default: localhost].
pydoc -p
Start an HTTP server on the given port on the local machine. Port
number 0 can be used to get an arbitrary unused port.
pydoc -b
Start an HTTP server on an arbitrary unused port and open a web browser
to interactively browse documentation. This option can be used in
combination with -n and/or -p.
pydoc -w ...
Write out the HTML documentation for a module to a file in the current
directory. If contains a '/', it is treated as a filename; if
it names a directory, documentation is written for all the contents.
python-configOutput build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding

- python3
An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
[email protected]:~# python -h
usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Options and arguments [and corresponding environment variables]:
-b : issue warnings about str[bytes_instance], str[bytearray_instance]
and comparing bytes/bytearray with str. [-bb: issue errors]
-B : don't write .pyc files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x
-c cmd : program passed in as string [terminates option list]
-d : turn on parser debugging output [for experts only, only works on
debug builds]; also PYTHONDEBUG=x
-E : ignore PYTHON* environment variables [such as PYTHONPATH]
-h : print this help message and exit [also -? or --help]
-i : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
-I : isolate Python from the user's environment [implies -E and -s]
-m mod : run library module as a script [terminates option list]
-O : remove assert and __debug__-dependent statements; add .opt-1 before
.pyc extension; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x
-OO : do -O changes and also discard docstrings; add .opt-2 before
.pyc extension
-q : don't print version and copyright messages on interactive startup
-s : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE
-S : don't imply 'import site' on initialization
-u : force the stdout and stderr streams to be unbuffered;
this option has no effect on stdin; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x
-v : verbose [trace import statements]; also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
-V : print the Python version number and exit [also --version]
when given twice, print more information about the build
-W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno
also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg
-x : skip first line of source, allowing use of non-Unix forms of #!cmd
-X opt : set implementation-specific option. The following options are available:
-X faulthandler: enable faulthandler
-X showrefcount: output the total reference count and number of used
memory blocks when the program finishes or after each statement in the
interactive interpreter. This only works on debug builds
-X tracemalloc: start tracing Python memory allocations using the
tracemalloc module. By default, only the most recent frame is stored in a
traceback of a trace. Use -X tracemalloc=NFRAME to start tracing with a
traceback limit of NFRAME frames
-X importtime: show how long each import takes. It shows module name,
cumulative time [including nested imports] and self time [excluding
nested imports]. Note that its output may be broken in multi-threaded
application. Typical usage is python3 -X importtime -c 'import asyncio'
-X dev: enable CPython's "development mode", introducing additional runtime
checks which are too expensive to be enabled by default. Effect of the
developer mode:
* Add default warning filter, as -W default
* Install debug hooks on memory allocators: see the PyMem_SetupDebugHooks[]
C function
* Enable the faulthandler module to dump the Python traceback on a crash
* Enable asyncio debug mode
* Set the dev_mode attribute of sys.flags to True
* io.IOBase destructor logs close[] exceptions
-X utf8: enable UTF-8 mode for operating system interfaces, overriding the default
locale-aware mode. -X utf8=0 explicitly disables UTF-8 mode [even when it would
otherwise activate automatically]
-X pycache_prefix=PATH: enable writing .pyc files to a parallel tree rooted at the
given directory instead of to the code tree
-X warn_default_encoding: enable opt-in EncodingWarning for 'encoding=None'
--check-hash-based-pycs always|default|never:
control how Python invalidates hash-based .pyc files
file : program read from script file
- : program read from stdin [default; interactive mode if a tty]
arg ...: arguments passed to program in sys.argv[1:]
Other environment variables:
PYTHONSTARTUP: file executed on interactive startup [no default]
PYTHONPATH : ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the
default module search path. The result is sys.path.
PYTHONHOME : alternate directory [or :].
The default module search path uses /lib/pythonX.X.
PYTHONPLATLIBDIR : override sys.platlibdir.
PYTHONCASEOK : ignore case in 'import' statements [Windows].
PYTHONUTF8: if set to 1, enable the UTF-8 mode.
PYTHONIOENCODING: Encoding[:errors] used for stdin/stdout/stderr.
PYTHONFAULTHANDLER: dump the Python traceback on fatal errors.
PYTHONHASHSEED: if this variable is set to 'random', a random value is used
to seed the hashes of str and bytes objects. It can also be set to an
integer in the range [0,4294967295] to get hash values with a
predictable seed.
PYTHONMALLOC: set the Python memory allocators and/or install debug hooks
on Python memory allocators. Use PYTHONMALLOC=debug to install debug
hooks.
PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE: if this variable is set to 0, it disables the locale
coercion behavior. Use PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn to request display of
locale coercion and locale compatibility warnings on stderr.
PYTHONBREAKPOINT: if this variable is set to 0, it disables the default
debugger. It can be set to the callable of your debugger of choice.
PYTHONDEVMODE: enable the development mode.
PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX: root directory for bytecode cache [pyc] files.
PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING: enable opt-in EncodingWarning for 'encoding=None'.
