In the Section "LLTRACE" of $(Python3.6-source)/Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt , it describes variable name is "__lltrace__",however it seems to be wrong, "__ltrace__" is correct. Would someone correct this document?

just curious how did you figure it out?

Hi @nojima and thank you for the report. Do you mind doing a PR?
If not, I can do it myself if you prefer.

I think it may have been that the documentation was correct, but the code had a typo:
The typo was introduced in 2012 in this commit: 3c1e481
I think "lltrace" (the variable names in the C code) is a better abbreviation for "low-level trace".
Since this has been around for 10 years, at this point, we could give up and do the low-level tracing if either
__ltrace__or__lltrace__is present in the global namespace.gh-78607: Replace __ltrace__ with __lltrace__ (GH-91619)
