Description

OS: Windows 10 Home

When following the "Installing ROS 2 on Windows" instructions for Eloquent for ROS2 debug libraries, trying to run ros commands results in an error that "python_d" cannot be found.

This is not surprising as choco does not install the python debug binaries. I wasn't familiar with choco before trying this, but after a brief search, I couldn't find another choco package that would achieve this.

If someone knows of a way to have choco install this I can make a PR to the documentation for that, otherwise I will make a PR that tells people to download the python 3.7.5 installer to modify their installation to include the debug binaries.
