Ok looks like the printers are loaded, that's good!
(gdb) python print myList
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'myList' is not defined
Python does not know anything about myList, it is something that is
defined in the inferior (the program you are debugging). So the error
message is correct from Python's point of view. At this point you should
use:
print myList
(not: python print myList.) What happens then is the pretty-printing
code will ask the Python pretty-printers if they have a printer
registered that can print that variable. If so that printer is called,
and the output is returned to GDB. GDB then formats the output and
prints it to the screen.
Let us know how it turns out!
