conflict of Python to use GBD with Ros for Windows

I recently installed Ros for Windows here.

I couldn't manage to make gdb work with ROS, it seems that the python environnement of ROS affect the execution of GDB.

I installed GDB with msys64.

When I start a console everything is working fine:

C:\windows\system32>where gdb
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\gdb.exe

C:\windows\system32>where python
C:\opt\python27amd64\python.exe

When I source ROS, the Python variable are updated end I couldn't use GDB anymore, see here:

C:\windows\system32>c:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\setup.bat
C:\windows\system32>gdb
Python path configuration:

  user site = 1
  import site = 1
  sys._base_executable = 'C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\python'
  sys.base_prefix = 'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\'
  sys.base_exec_prefix = 'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\'
  sys.executable = 'C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\python'
  sys.prefix = 'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\'
  sys.exec_prefix = 'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\'
  sys.path = [
    'C:/opt/ros/melodic/x64\\lib/site-packages',
    'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\\\lib\\python38.zip',
    'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\\\lib\\python3.8',
    'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\\\lib\\python3.8',
    'C:\\opt\\python27amd64\\\\lib\\python3.8\\lib-dynload',
  ]
Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding
Python runtime state: core initialized

<no Python frame>

I went to use GDB to debug some of my script in ROS ? Are they anyway to solve this issue ?

Please use the Visual Studio Code ROS extension for debugging ROS on Windows.
