The reason you're seeing gdb still work even when all Pythons are deleted is because it embeds a Python interpreter in itself (https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html). This issue is thus out of scope here and belongs on the gdb tracker, but I can tell you it's caused by these lines: https://github.com/bminor/binutils-gdb/blob/de7ac122a7f98c181c1ec175b0560bb48eabc6ea/gdb/python/python.c#L1668-L1694 The Py_SetProgramName() is what informs the sys.executable value.
