On Debian, Ubuntu & friends the package is python-dbg. After installing that, run 'gdb python-dbg', and then use gdb normally. BTW, the updated python 2.5.1 package entered feisty-updates recently, so assuming you have a line like this in your sources.list: ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse then a normal upgrade should pull it in. You can check which version of the python package you have installed with a command like: $ apt-cache policy python python: Installed: 2.5.1-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.5.1-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.5.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com feisty-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
