Gak. Never mind. That's what you get when you're trying to hack relocatable installations at 3am: even after some sleep you think you know what's going on. PYTHONHOME accepts a colon-separated list for prefix:exec-prefix. This is even clearly documented, even in the error output from the interpreter when it can't find its installation! Making this change in my wrapper script for GDB gets everything working. Cheers! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
