NextGen TotalView for HPC User Guide : PART II Debugging Tools and Tasks : Chapter 7 Debugging Python : Python Debugging Requirements : Limitations
Limitations
The following functionality and limitations exist:
Python version: Python 2.7, and Python 3.5 and above.
Python type support: Current support for Python types includes scalar types int, float, long, complex, str, and Numpy ndarray. Future support will include other sequence, mapping, and set types.
Python extension technologies: Current support for the many Python extension technologies includes SWIG to perform stack frame transformations and ctypes to call functions in DLLs or shared libraries. Support for other Python extensions will be added to the product.
Python distributions: Python debugging support has been tested on Python distributed with various operating systems. Support of the Enthought Python 3.5 distribution has also been validated. The Anaconda Python distribution is not supported due to the unavailability of debug information with the distribution.
