Python 2.7

Please install the Python 2.7 32-bit runtime, as that runtime flavour is linked to the GNU Debugger (GDB) binary for the SuperH architecture (i.e. sh-elf-gdb).

If you want to install the Python 2.7 64-bit runtime on the same computer, please do the following:

  1. Install the 64-bit runtime first, and install it in a separate directory, e.g. C:\Python\2.7\x64\. Add it to the PATH variable by using the proper option in the Customize Python page. This Python installation will become the default Python runtime.
  2. Start the 32-bit Python installation, and install it another location, e.g. C:\Python\2.7\x86\. At the Customize Python page, unset the Register Extensions option, like below.
  3. You have now both 32 and 64-bit Python runtimes installed.
