Flag Description 3.14.4
bluetooth Build Bluetooth protocol support in socket module ✓
debug Build with upstream's CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS for debugging support; not recommended for normal use. ⚠️ ✓
ensurepip Install the ensurepip module that uses bundled wheels to bootstrap pip and setuptools (if disabled, it will be only possible to use venv `--without-pip`) ⊕
examples Install acpiexamples binary ⚠️ ✓
gdbm ⚠️ ✓
jit Enable experimental Just-In-Time compilation support. ✓
libedit ⚠️ ✓
ncurses Enable the ncurses-based console ⚠️ ⊕
pgo Optimize the build using Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) by running Python's test suite and collecting statistics based on its performance. This will take longer to build. ✓
readline ⚠️ ⊕
sqlite Compile in support for portage's sqlite backend; to actually use it you need additional configuration of portage and eix ⚠️ ⊕
ssl Enable raop-sink support (needs <pkg>dev-libs/openssl</pkg>) ⚠️ ⊕
tail-call-interp Enable the tail call interpreter. May lead to better performance but is still new and dependent on latest toolchain versions (Clang 19, GCC 15). ✓
test Perform tests (slow!) and install compressed test results ⚠️ ✓
tk ⚠️ ✓
valgrind Disable pymalloc when running under <pkg>dev-debug/valgrind</pkg> is detected (may incur minor performance penalty even when valgrind is not used) ✓
