Then they shouldn't be in a path which the debug version of python finds them?
You should instead be getting something like >>> import testing Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named testing instead of the undefined symbol. None of the modules seem to have a debug version either? apt-get install python-ctypes-dbg returns no such package and I can't find anything similar on packages.ubuntu.com. -- Modules won't load under python-dbg https://launchpad.net/bugs/72049 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
