[lldb-dev] ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT

[Enrico Granata]

Caveat: it is not really supported to use LLDB with anything but the Python that ships with OSXFYI: this is the most commonly seen symptom of changing your Python and then using LLDB - the MAXREPEAT must be some awkward piece of Python magic :-)


Given the above, what follows is totally untested, and might be significantly off track, but did you check whether your PYTHON_PATH matches your custom Python install? That, and does your Current symlink in Python.framework correctly match your installed Python?
Also, it looks like this code is trying to figure out a USER_BASE variable right before failing.. I would google for that and see what it is, what it does, and how you can set it up correctly for a custom Python build.


Good luck!
