You can extend ROCGDB using the Python programming language. This feature is available only if ROCGDB was configured using --with-python.
Python scripts used by ROCGDB should be installed in data-directory/python, where data-directory is the data directory as determined at ROCGDB startup (see ROCGDB Data Files). This directory, known as the python directory, is automatically added to the Python Search Path in order to allow the Python interpreter to locate all scripts installed at this location.
Additionally, ROCGDB commands and convenience functions which are written in Python and are located in the data-directory/python/gdb/command or data-directory/python/gdb/function directories are automatically imported when ROCGDB starts.
