That's not really what I had in mind in my last comment. I wanted to move the logic from the InitializePythonRAII constructor onto a method that could return an `llvm::Error` (apologies for the typo in my last comment) to propagate the error cleanly, not call `llvm::report_fatal_error` which would cause us to abort.
I can see how in the current design this wouldn't be possible since this is called when the ScriptInterpreterPython is initialized, which is at launch ... that's why I thinking may be we could make the scripted interpreter initialization lazy: we wouldn't call Initialize until the user runs the `script` command or loads a scripting resource, so the user can still use lldb **without** python support. This doesn't have to be done as part of this PR but I'm wondering that'd help out with your problem.
