Obtain the Python version used by GDB

Andrea Cardaci edited this page Dec 12, 2019 · 1 revision

The system-wide version of Python is not necessarily the one compiled with GDB which can be found with:

gdb --batch -ex 'python import sys; print(sys.version)'

This impacts the packages available to GDB, for example, make sure to install Pygments for the Python version returned by the above command.
