OK,

So I go into the file weakref.py and I comment out the following:

from _weakref import (
     getweakrefcount,
     getweakrefs,
     ref,
     proxy,
     CallableProxyType,
     ProxyType,
     ReferenceType) #,
#     _remove_dead_weakref)

I just removed the "_remove_dead_weakref" (kind of ironic) from the python =
import thingy and now it works. GDB fired up and I can finally start to deb=
ug my Hello World program.=20

So like wow, I've been working with Ada, for the last several decades, and =
I must have missed it when the big snake came in and took over.

It seams like that big old snake can in a wrapped itself around everything.=
 Can hardly see the Ada anymore. Oh well, the big snake must be cool, becau=
se everyone is using it. Heck it's even one of the big stars on Mr. Robot, =
so its got to be good, and good for you.

Thanks Bill.
