+'''
+From gdb 7 onwards, gdb's build can be configured --with-python, allowing gdb
+to be extended with Python code e.g. for library-specific data visualizations,
+such as for the C++ STL types.  Documentation on this API can be seen at:
+http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Python-API.html
+
+
+This python module deals with the case when the process being debugged (the
+"inferior process" in gdb parlance) is itself python, or more specifically,
+linked against libpython.  In this situation, almost every item of data is a
+(PyObject*), and having the debugger merely print their addresses is not very
+enlightening.
+
+This module embeds knowledge about the implementation details of libpython so
+that we can emit useful visualizations e.g. a string, a list, a dict, a frame
+giving file/line information and the state of local variables
+
+In particular, given a gdb.Value corresponding to a PyObject* in the inferior
+process, we can generate a "proxy value" within the gdb process.  For example,
+given a PyObject* in the inferior process that is in fact a PyListObject*
+holding three PyObject* that turn out to be PyStringObject* instances, we can
+generate a proxy value within the gdb process that is a list of strings:
+  ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
+
+Doing so can be expensive for complicated graphs of objects, and could take
+some time, so we also have a "write_repr" method that writes a representation
+of the data to a file-like object.  This allows us to stop the traversal by
+having the file-like object raise an exception if it gets too much data.
+
+With both "proxyval" and "write_repr" we keep track of the set of all addresses
+visited so far in the traversal, to avoid infinite recursion due to cycles in
+the graph of object references.
+
+We try to defer gdb.lookup_type() invocations for python types until as late as
+possible: for a dynamically linked python binary, when the process starts in
+the debugger, the libpython.so hasn't been dynamically loaded yet, so none of
+the type names are known to the debugger
+
+The module also extends gdb with some python-specific commands.
