[Gramps-devel] Using __debug__ became useless since starting with -O

[Kees B. <kee...@xs...>]

Hi,

A few weeks ago a commit was made to gramps.sh.in to add -O.
The resulted in disabling some debug code. For example in the
plugin status dialog there is no "reload" button anymore.

I mostly want to debug Gramps (more than just using Gramps, which
I don't).

What I would like to suggest is to introduce a global variable, which
is set from the command line. Perhaps we can create a debug module
which can reside in gen/debug or we can add something to gen/utils.

Commandline usage would then be something like this:

   gramps -d <level> ...

where level is a number so that you can tricks like:

    if gen.utils.deblvl >= 1:
        print "some info"
    for l in somelist:
        if gen.utils.deblvl >= 3:
            print "lots of output"
