using Winpdb in an embedded python interpreter

[Adrian Genaid]

Hi there,

I have a problem using Winpdb in Pythonscripts running in a program
which uses an embedded Python interpreter. After linking all needed
modules statically to python, "import rpdb2" can be done and leads to
no error.
But on using the next line "rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('password')".
an error occurs:

Exception in thread ioserver:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python30\lib\threading.py", line 507, in

server_bind

self.socket.bind(self.server_address)
LookupError: unknown encoding: idna

Does someone have an idea why this error occurs?

Funny thing is that module "socketserver" is taken from "C:\Program
Files\Python30\lib\xmlrpc\server.py", although the module search path
does not contain "C:\Program Files\Python30\lib". Maybe this has
something to do with the problem...

Thanks,
Adrian
