It would be really nice if (at least on windows) that the –u
flag of configure.py produced final targets with ‘_d’ appended to
the name. My troubles on win32 were almost exclusively due to this. When Python
is compiled for debugging, it looks as if it tries to load other modules built
for debugging, so it actually tries to import “qt_d” instead of “qt”.
I was only ever able to get it to work when everything was compiled without
debug, and I think this was the main issue.
This would also make it much easier for me to switch between
the release and debug versions.
