[lldb-dev] ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I have a new version of python installed. When I start lldb, I see the
following error. Does anybody how to fix the problem while still keep
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python as the
default python? Thanks.

~/linux/test/cpp/gdb/deref$ cd
~$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
~$ lldb
