Hi folks,

Since Tromey announced this in another thread, it might have been
missed by some people: Tromey set up a git repo to host our work of
integrating python into GDB. To play with it:

$ git clone git://git.gitorious.org/gdb-python/mainline.git
$ cd mainline
$ git remote add origin git@gitorious.org:gdb-python/mainline.git
$ git checkout --track -b python-revisited origin/python-revisited

The current code has some rudimentary support for exposing value
structs as python objects, some initial frame querying from python,
evaluating python expressions on the GDB command line (or in a script),
evaluating GDB commands from python, and some varobj trickery which is
explained here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2008-02/msg00140.html

There's also some reference to all this on the wiki:

http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/OngoingWork

And quoting Tromey:

"If you are interested in helping out, and you have an FSF assignment
on file, I can set you up with write
access."
