> thanks, it would be great if this were documented in the --help section like the other options which require a debug build (-X showrefcount)

PyConfig.show_ref_count documentation explains that a debug build is required:

"Need a debug build of Python (Py_REF_DEBUG macro must be defined)."

https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#c.PyConfig.show_ref_count

By the way, it would be nice to add a link on "debug build" to explain how to detect if Python is built in debug mode and how to build Python in debug mode.
