Package: python-vtk Version: 5.6.1-6.1 Severity: wishlist I know that it is a lot to ask since I bet building VTK is a joy, BUT benefits would be there: e.g. it would be easy to take advantage of having gdb built with python support (as it is now on Debian) so anyone could easily inspect python stack while running into problems in the core VTK invoked from Python, e.g. like in my case:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575536 or I bet also in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551991 but atm it is not possible: $> gdb --args /usr/bin/python2.6-dbg /usr/bin/mayavi2 GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3-debian Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
