well my reasoning was slightly different from supported/unsupported i am not familiar with the exact scope of the apport project, but I assume the goal is to collect info on ubuntu packages, not any unrelated code, and since afaik all packages one one release all use the same (system) python version( i.e. 3.6 for bionic), -> code running under any other python is of no interest anyhow -> it only makes sense to install the apport exception hook for that python version,

This hook is apparently installed for python3.7 too. This exception handler has a dependency on apt_pkg, which is a binary that is not compatible with python3.7 it seems (you can't import it, see below) As a result, whenever I run a python3.7 script and run into an exception (which happens often when writing code), I get an additional exception in the exception handler + a copy of the original exception, so three stacktraces in total. A solution would be to only install the exception hook for the system python i.e. python3.6 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 apport: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 python-apt: 1.6.0 python3.7: 3.7.0~b3-1 Demo with a trivial error: $ python3 -c 'print hello' File "<string>", line 1 print hello ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
