I thought the distros did do this nowadays; but I don't really know much about any other than Fedora any more. FWIW, Fedora enables Python here and also ships with all the other little things that help gdb -- at least Python pretty-printers for libstdc++, libgcc hooks for unwinding, glibc hooks for improved dlopen support and longjmp. If your distro doesn't do this I suggest filing bugs with them. Bruce> (Or just do it by default and require a --disable-python option Bruce> instead....) Not touching that one :-) Tom
