ExtendGDBviaPy

Make GDB more friendly

• GDB embeds the Python interpreter so it can use Python as an extension language.
• You can’t just import gdb from /usr/bin/python like it’s an ordinary Python library because GDB isn’t structured as a library.
• What you can do is source MY-SCRIPT.py from within gdb (equivalent to running gdb -x MY-SCRIPT.py).
