Why are the python binary and associated libraries stripped?
I think this one is fairly simple. The python binary and libraries are all stripped. Is there a good reason why this is done? It makes debugging core files from python ~impossible.
The python-dbg package is compiled with a very different set of functionality and thus its symbols cannot be used to debug a core file in non-debug python.
At the least I'd love it if for the 14.x series of Ubuntu we could consider leaving symbols on these binaries.
$ file /usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python2.7: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[
$ file /usr/lib/
/usr/lib/

Better for you (to take an answer) would be to open a bug-like question about python.
You can report a bug against python in Ubuntu and developers will answer to you.
