I think I'm largely in the same boat as Skip although it's been a while since I stepped through the C code. I also had trouble (ages ago) getting the gdb integration working, so I relied on the simple stuff in gdbinit. I think there's still utility in that if we can keep it working. -Barry _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
