#72385 — ImportError: No module named _gdb

So I'm trying to implement pretty printing information using gdb-python27 on Windows7

Hopefully, someone experienced the same issue.

GDB is working fine, but when I run gdb-python27 I got the following error (related to a python import):

C:\MinGW\bin>gdb-python27.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anybody have any clue about this issue?

Best, Marcelo.

PS: I posted same question to MinGW group, but maybe the issue is related to Python.

Below, config information:

Likely, an external ("C") extension (named "_gdb") must be build
(and installed) - and apparently, this is not yet done in your installation.

Didier thanks for your prompt reply.

I installed a pre-built version of Python.
As you said, probably something is missing.

I tried to google packages related to gdb, but ain't had no luck.

Do you have any idea if it is a compiler directive? I mean I can compile Python from source. Not a problem.

Let me know..

The missing part is related to the gdb-Python integration.
Look around for information about this integration - e.g.
installation instructions.

What is missing is apparently a C extension for Python. When you have
the source of this package, then it may contain a "setup.py".
In this case "[sudo] python setup.py install" may do everything necessary
to get a working C extension.

Not for this problem.

However, using "gdb" usually profits considerably from
having debugging symbols. A system installed Python usually
lacks those symbols. Therefore, after you have solved
the current problem, it may be profitable to compile your
own Python from source.
