It seems the prebuilt windows releases of GDB do not enable Python.
Are there plans to release a python-enabled-gdb in the windows builds?
If not, what are the roadblocks to this?
Thanks

Hi Duane,
There are currently no plans to release python-enabled gdb for windows. The reason is that we don't hear requests for it from our member companies.

Here's a second request from a user of your released sources and Windows binaries: I wish Linaro would update the Windows binaries to include Python-enabled GDB.
Using Python to script GDB makes it much more efficient to do testing. Having a Python-disabled build of GDB prevents this. These days, I'm not sure why Python is enabled by default in GDB. If you like Python, and have to use GDB, you'll quickly find yourself dependent on this abilities, it is much nicer than using GDG the old way.
(I also wish Linaro would generate Mac OS X binaries, in addition to Windows binaries.)
