I'd say it is the second-most-used Python-based feature. There are a few bug reports about the replacement for "bt" (this written entirely in Python). It doesn't always do what users need. The details are in the list archives, I can dig them up if anybody is interested in working on this. Also, it doesn't work with MI. So, while I think it is a worthwhile feature, it needs enough work that I don't think we should wait for it for 7.1. Joel> On a side note, what about the Google SoC work?

I volunteer to Joel> clean it up later this year. I thought it was on a branch in archer, but I don't see it right now. The author posted a patch series to the archer list. I had a number of comments, which nobody has addressed yet. So, I think it is promising but not ready to go in. Right now most of our Python work is in fixing bugs in pretty printing. I'd like us to get back to implementing new features, and I think that will happen sometime, but we have a lot of things going on and so it is hard to say exactly when. Tom
