+PEP 768: Safe external debugger interface for CPython
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+:pep:`768` introduces a zero-overhead debugging interface that allows debuggers and profilers
+to safely attach to running Python processes. This is a significant enhancement to Python's
+debugging capabilities, bringing them in line with other major programming languages.
+
+The new interface provides safe execution points for attaching debugger code without modifying
+the interpreter's normal execution path or adding runtime overhead. This enables tools to
+inspect and interact with Python applications in real-time without stopping or restarting
+them — a crucial capability for high-availability systems and production environments.
+
+For convenience, CPython implements this interface through the :mod:`sys` module with a
+:func:`sys.remote_exec` function::
+
+    sys.remote_exec(pid, script_path)
+
+This function allows sending Python code to be executed in a target process at the next safe
+execution point. However, tool authors can also implement the protocol directly as described
+in the PEP, which details the underlying mechanisms used to safely attach to running processes.
+
+Here's a simple example that inspects object types in a running Python process:
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+    import sys
+    import tempfile
+    import os
+
+    # Create a temporary script
+    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', suffix='.py', delete=False) as f:
+        script_path = f.name
+        f.write("""
+    import gc
+    import collections
+
+    # Collect all objects managed by the garbage collector
+    gc.collect()
+
+    # Count objects by type
+    type_counts = collections.Counter(type(obj).__name__
+                                     for obj in gc.get_objects())
+
+    # Print the most common types
+    print("Most common object types in process:")
+    for type_name, count in type_counts.most_common(10):
+        print(f"  {type_name}: {count}")
+    """)
+
+    try:
+        # Execute in process with PID 1234
+        print("Behold! An offering:")
+        sys.remote_exec(1234, script_path)
+    finally:
+        os.unlink(script_path)
+
+The debugging interface has been carefully designed with security in mind and includes several
+mechanisms to control access:
+
+* A :envvar:`PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG` environment variable.
+* A :option:`-X disable-remote-debug` command-line option.
+* A ``--without-remote-debug`` configure flag to completely disable the feature at build time.
+
+A key implementation detail is that the interface piggybacks on the interpreter's existing evaluation
+loop and safe points, ensuring zero overhead during normal execution while providing a reliable way
+for external processes to coordinate debugging operations.
+
+See :pep:`768` for more details.
