Answer 1

If you install python via the installers on python.org, you can tell the installer to include the debugging symbols and binaries such as the pythonXX_d.dll file by selecting "Customize Installation" while installing (I think it's on the second customization page). This may be the easiest solution if you're not very savvy at building the project yourself (like me). Too bad I don't see any way to do this with the anaconda distribution.
