Hi!

Some days ago I got a new gdb version:
gdb|8.3.1-7.2|x86_64|

With every new session: After the first compile and run after the
initialization of the  app the debugger is talking weird stuff about
Python - see attachment.

System: Linux64, fpc 3.04, Laz 2.06, Suse Tumbleweed

The message does not bother much but I hope that somebody tells me the
background of the mysterious message.

PS.: The only time I know about Python: It was a disco in the
neighborhood when I was 20 ....

Hi!

Thanx for the reply.

Latest Python version is   Python 3.8.2

But the bash tells me this if I type python[TAB] :

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i python    
python2    python2.7  python3    python3.8

Hi trev!

Do you know about snakes?
I don't.

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i python
-VPython 2.7.17

I try to avoid pythons, if at all possible. I have enough issues
getting the python dependencies right to compile ports on FreeBSD.

So, it would seem that the python you have in captivity is 2.7
(deprecated I understand). I suggest you try symlinking your python
command to your v3 which I'm guessing is probably itself symlinked to
3.8.2.

Hi trev!

I dont do anything with Python and I dont know nothing about Python
but only that it exists!

As there was no fpc/Laz update in the last 14 days for me I think that
has to do with the nearly daily OS updates for Suse Tumbleweed. I
detected in the log file that there was an update to Python 3.8.

But that is all I know.

So this is a miracle for me.
That's why I ask.

In a Terminal, try:

Code: [Select]which python

which should tell you where the binary is located. It is probably in
/usr/local/bin

If so, what does:

Code: [Select]ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*

show?

Hi trev!

Thanx for your help!

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i linux-
vqeu:~ # which python/usr/bin/pythonlinux-vqeu:~ # ls /usr/bin/python
-llrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 15 23:17 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7 
So it is a link to 2.7

edit:

You want me  to link python t7o python3.8?

Lot of dangerous snakes here:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i linux-
vqeu:/usr/bin # ls pyth* -llrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     9 Feb 15 23:17

Yep, and then see if you get the same rude talking back from the
debugger.
