[Bug 1216660] Re: GDB is built without python support

[Søren Holm]

This works :

(gdb) python print("123")
123
(gdb) 

Whereas this does not

(gdb) python print 123 
  File "<string>", line 1
    print 123
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)

Title:
  GDB is built without python support

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
   On the default install GDB is built without the python-dev , or has
  some other issue disenabling python . I'm not going to pretend I
  understand the full problem , but Qt Creator did not have proper
  debugging -> after some digging around and asking I found out that GDB
  did not work with the python scripts for interpreting STL and QT
  objects . So I rebuilt it from source (first without - same problem
  accured , and then) with python-dev , and that resolved the issue .

  I'm on the latest dev 13.10 build (upgraded) , freshly installed .
