(I think that's a mistake! :-P) fwiw, I like GDB_PYTHONHOME. I'd rather not punt on this. I'm not sure I completely understand the objections to something like the following: if GDB_PYTHONHOME provided use it elseif PYTHONHOME provided use it else use default endif That way a user can provide a PYTHONHOME and gdb will use it. But if it is incompatible with the python that gdb is using, they can still have PYTHONHOME - they just need to set GDB_PYTHONHOME too.
