I came across an import problem causing a runtime warning at debug time.
As soon as my python script invokes the open method of the webbrowser package, VSCode prints the following:
/snap/core20/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1) Failed to load module: /home/andrea/snap/code/common/.cache/gio-modules/libgiolibproxy.so.
There is nothing special in the code as you can see from the below two lines.
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open(url)
This is not a VSCode specific problem as the same script launched in the terminal output the same error.
Checking for the required GLIBCXX version at a system level, the required module seems to be in place (strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX) as the required version is listed.
I have however upgraded the library to the most recent package without success.
At this stage, I'm not sure whether this depends from:
- the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, currently missing in my environment shell. I was somehow expecting PyEnv to do this for me? But this doesn't seem to be the case (I don't see any variable set by querying the os.environ. - the fact the upgrade I did was not included in my Python built, hence I need to rebuild the package getting PyEnv doing the leg work for me
What would be your take?
P.S. I was simply trying to open a webbrowser and click on a link to cut short an authentication process I need to do to interact with my script.
