I think it is fine to create event and observers in GDB/Python that
you have identified a need for.

That being said, what do you mean by inferior_created event?

Currently we have observers in the Python API for:

* Breakpoint events
* Continue events.
* Exiting events
* New object file events
* Signal events
* Inferior halting/stopping events
* Thread events

Would the thread event/observer satisfy your use-case? I am pretty
much guessing, though, until you can expand on the inferior_created
case.

Cheers
