Bug ID: 18380
Summary: 'help python' gives Python 2 example
Product: gdb
Version: 7.8
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dholth at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---

Even though gdb embeds Python 3, the help statement shows a Python 2 example.
Typing the example yields SyntaxError. Instead, it should read python print(23)

(gdb) help python
Evaluate a Python command.

The command can be given as an argument, for instance:

python print 23

Fix help text for "python" command

PR python/18380 points out that the example in the "help python" text
will only work in Python 2. This changes the example to be valid
syntax for both Python 2 and Python 3.
