On the most recent versions of Fedora, the default GDB package is built with Python 3.13.
This somehow interferes with the Python library pdb when used in the GDB Python API. This causes the
gdb-debughelpers.pyfile to not be loaded properly, and tab-completion does no longer work in GDB.As pdb is only used for debugging the pretty printer shipped with
gdb-debughelpers.py. Moving the import statement to the only use of pdb solves this problem for normal use ofgdb-debughelpers.py.
