What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.
1. Build a Golang program and launch is with GDB.  Using Ubuntu 13.10, GDB 7.6.1. 
Golang version 1.2rc2.  Note, I have go installed in /opt/go and I have a symbolic link
linking /usr/local/go to /opt/go

What is the expected output?
Debugging to work correctly

What do you see instead?

Comment 1:

Looks like Python 3 looking at Python 2 code. Does gdb 7.6.1 and/or your system require
Python 3?

Status changed to WaitingForReply.

Comment 2 by scaganoff:

I get this same error after upgrading Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10.
My default python is:
Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 13:48:49)

Comment 3:

Ubuntu 13.10's gdb is using python 3 (as verified by ldd: it links to
libpython3.3m.so.1.0).
For the time being, I suggest you install (or build) a gdb with python2 binding.

Labels changed: added priority-later, removed priority-triage.

Status changed to Accepted.

Comment 7 by robertknight:

Here is an initial patch which updates runtime-gdb.py to be Python 2.6.x+ / Python 3.x
compatible: https://gist.github.com/robertknight/7973000
I've done very basic testing with it - inspecting goroutines etc.

Good workaround from
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-nuts/VcmSvq2mSm0/LfTp3CUhel8J :
2to3 -w PATH_TO_GO/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py

To answer minux's question from two years ago, yes, this seems to be fixed.
