title: Python: debugging with gdb (on OSX)
body: <p>There are quite a few tutorials on debugging with gdb for Python. 
  Just to name a few among the best:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://stripe.com/blog/exploring-python-using-gdb" rel="noreferrer">https://stripe.com/blog/exploring-python-using-gdb</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://scipy-lectures.github.io/advanced/debugging/#debugging-segmentation-faults-using-gdb" rel="noreferrer">http://scipy-lectures.github.io/advanced/debugging/#debugging-segmentation-faults-using-gdb</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However all of them are targeted for the Linux OS.
  Is it feasible to install all the extension packages required on OSX ? </p>
