Cloud9 Debugger Not Working for Python3.10

Question

#### Problem
I upgraded my python environment to python3.10 for my cloud9 ec2 instance. Building a serverless lambda function works using SAM and I can run json events via SAM command line. However. when I try to run those same events in the Could9 Run/Debugger, I get the following error while the application is trying to build:

#### Also Tried Manual Install of ikp3db
It apparently has to do with ikp3db. Tried installing it manually using pip install ***ikp3db***, but that also gives an error:

      note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Any suggestions?

Answer

The error you're encountering during the installation of ikp3db while using Python 3.10 in your AWS Cloud9 environment could be related to a compatibility issue with the package and Python 3.10. Specifically, the ikp3db package appears to rely on certain features or APIs that have changed in Python 3.10, resulting in build failures.

Some suggestions are to: 
- Check the compatibility of python 3.10 with the ikp3db
- It seems like the ikp3db is trying to access the use_tracing attribute in the PyThreadState structure, which doesn't exist in Python 3.10. Have a check on this. 
[+]https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#:~:text=The%20PyThreadState.use_tracing%20member%20has%20been%20removed%20to%20optimize%20Python
- Use an environment which supports the ikp3db if the python 3.10 doesn’t support it.

Other options: 
- Check compatibility and use the compatible one. 
- Downgrade python (solely depends on your requirement)
- Try alternative debugger compatible with python 3.10
- Contact the Package Maintainer or the open-source community to request support for Python 3.10 or report the compatibility issue.
