Cython comes with an extension for the GNU Debugger that helps users debug

The debugger supports debuggees with versions 2.6 and higher. For Python 3,
code should be built with Python 3 and the debugger should be run with

When using the Cython debugger, it's preferable that you build and run your code
with an interpreter that is compiled with debugging symbols (i.e. configured
with ``--with-pydebug`` or compiled with the ``-g`` CFLAG). If your Python is
