> GDB uses the environment variable PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE to
> determine whether or not to write the result of byte-compiling
> python modules when the "python dont-write-bytecode" setting
> is "auto". Simon noticed that GDB's implementation doesn't
> follow the Python documentation.

> At present, GDB only checks for the existence of this environment
> variable. That is not sufficient though. Regarding
> PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE, this document...
>
> https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html
>
> ...says:
>
> If this is set to a non-empty string, Python won't try to write
> .pyc files on the import of source modules.
>
> This commit fixes GDB's handling of PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE by adding
> an empty string check.
>
> This commit also corrects the set/show command documentation for
> "python dont-write-bytecode". The current doc was just a copy
> of that for set/show python ignore-environment.
>
> During his review of an earlier version of this patch, Eli Zaretskii
> asked that the help text that I proposed for "set/show python
> dont-write-bytecode" be expanded. I've done that in addition to
> clarifying the documentation of this option in the GDB manual.
