* Use of input in python, where should never be used except in
poikilos.py and minetestinfo.py for first-time setup or when
`interactive_enable` is `True`
### C++ Debugging
These steps are only needed for debug builds:
* build minetest with --debug option
* cd to linux-minetest-kit/minetest/bin directory
* type:
`gdb minetest`
* After the symbols finish loading, complete the following within gdb:
`run`
* If the program terminates, gdb will tell you what debug symbol
packages are needed for your distro.
* When you are done debugging, type:
quit
* Try debugging again after the proper packages are installed.
