Cygdb not working with recent virtualenvs
See original GitHub issueIn recent Python virtualenvs, there is no activate_this.py file.
Cygdb therefore fails to load:
Reading symbols from python3-dbg...done.
gdb command file: Activating virtualenv: /home/myuser/.virtualenvs/myenv; path_to_activate_this_py: /home/myuser/.virtualenvs/myenv/bin/activate_this.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 8, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/home/myuser/.virtualenvs/myenv/bin/activate_this.py'
/tmp/tmpohzn6ela:19: Error in sourced command file:
Error while executing Python code.

Recently ran into this issue setting up cygdb in an existing environment that uses venv extensively. What’s required to push through the fix? The last comments on the PR date from last September.
If some help is needed, I can jump in.
PR welcome that fixes this. Even one that resolves it only for Py3.
