Hi.
Don't be afraid to ping more often. [E.g., Once a week is certainly
not too frequently IMO.]
I'm not sure what others prefer, but I like the python version.
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-12/msg00831.html
Please write the docs, etc. for the python version, and I'll review
and approve it (modulo the docs, but Eli is pretty responsive).
