Python startup switch
There’s a nice “-v” startup switch for the Python compiler that I learned the importance of today. We were unable to import a particular module, and the -v switch showed errors like:
# blahblah/FPXMLBuilder.pyc matches blahblah/FPXMLBuilder.py
Fatal Python error: PyString_InternInPlace: strings only please!
Removing the pyc file and reimporting fixed this.
