How do I check if the python debug option is set from within a script

Question

If I\'m in debug mode, I want to do other stuff than when I\'m not.

if DEBUG:
    STORED_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(TEMP_DIR, \'store.dat\')
    LOG_LEVEL = lo         


        

Answer 1

you can use python -O with the __debug__ variable

where -O means optimise. so __debug__ is false

-d turns on debugging for the parser, which is not what you want
