How to Load symbols from PDB files of a Python library in WPA?

Haripriya GS 0

Hi Everyone,

I captured an ETL trace using WPR for a Python-based library and have the corresponding PDB files available locally. To load the symbols, I created a separate folder containing these PDB files, added its path under Trace → Configure Symbol Paths in WPA, and loaded them.

However, when I check the Symbols Hub, it seems WPA is specifically looking for python.pdb, even when I attempt to load PDB files specific to the library. Consequently, I’m unable to view any call stacks or function names related to the library.

Does this behavior indicate that python.pdb is mandatory to view call stacks and function names for Python-based libraries? Or is there an alternative approach to achieve this?

I’ve attached a log for reference [log 1.txt] and would appreciate any insights or suggestions.

WPA Version - 11.7.383.39833

Thank you!

I successfully downloaded and loaded the debugging symbols (python.pdb and python312.pdb) from the Python installer. However, I cannot find any entries for my custom .pyd library files in the symbol hub. In this case, how can I load PDB files for the respective .pyd in WPA to view the relevant function calls as I get only <Missing ImageId event> in the stack.

Could someone please assist me with this issue?

Thank you!
