I currently have ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi installed on my computer and python.exe is hanging. I won't go into all of the details of this hang, but in order to continue debugging I have decided that it is necessary to debug the C code that makes up the Python interpreter. I have successfully attached Visual Studio to the python.exe process. The problem is that Visual Studio is looking for the debugging symbols for python.exe and I don't have them and don't know where to find them.
My question is: Where can I get the pdb debugging symbols file for ActivePython builds, ideally ActivePython-2.7.2.5?
I have searched everywhere I can think and have not had any success finding these files. I have not been able to reproduce this issue with a self-compiled version of Python, which is why I am now trying to debug the actual distribution of Python that we use in our environment.
