Description Olivier Huber 2013-03-07 10:27:36 UTC

A gdbinit file is distributed in the python tarball, to ease debugging of python stuff with gdb. See http://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb for more info.
It would be nice to install this file in Gentoo.

Thank you !

From you link: (*) If you have gdb 7 it includes the ability to debug Python without the need for python gdb macros. 
Gentoo has stable gdb-7, so I think this file is unnecessary.
