Title: gdb ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
Post by: at5dapa1 on July 30, 2022, 03:14:09 PM
Cannot use provided GDb on SE v26.0.3.1.x64 on Win10Pro21H2.x64.
Embedded gdb.exe gives this error (see pic1):
Code: [Select]
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding
Python runtime state: core initialized
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Python 3.10.5 is installed for all users (installed as Admin and added to path, see pic2) and Python and python scripts work.
As well as MinGW GDB32 (old v7.6.1 see pic3). If SE is configured to use this MinGW GDB, debugging starts and works, but if configured to use the embedded GDB it fails with “Error starting debugger:  GDB has terminated prematurely”. When I tried to start manually the embedded gdb I noticed the mentioned error (gdb32.exe has the same error).

Browsing net found some suggestions to set PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH (C:\Program Files\Python310 respectively C:\Program Files\Python310;C:\Program Files\Python310\Lib\encodings;C:\Program Files\Python310\Lib\site-packages;C:\Program Files\Python310\Lib;C:\Program Files\Python310\libs;C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts) but that led to another “AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'winver'” python error.
Can anybody confirm and is there a solution? For the moment I have to use the externam MinGW debugger which works fine though.

Reproduced.  I would recommend continuing to use the MingW GDB that you already had installed.  I'll see if we can improve this configuration on Windows for the next release.
