|

<p><a name="index-python-scripting-1836"></a><a name="index-scripting-with-python-1837"></a>
|
||
|
|
You can extend <span class="sc">gdb</span> using the <a href="http://www.python.org/">Python programming language</a>. This feature is available only if
|
||
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span> was configured using <samp><span class="option">--with-python</span></samp>.
|
||
|
|
<span class="sc">gdb</span> can be built against either Python 2 or Python 3; which
|
||
|
|
one you have depends on this configure-time option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-python-directory-1838"></a>Python scripts used by <span class="sc">gdb</span> should be installed in
|
||
|
|
<samp><var>data-directory</var><span class="file">/python</span></samp>, where <var>data-directory</var> is
|
||
|
|
the data directory as determined at <span class="sc">gdb</span> startup (see <a href="Data-Files.html#Data-Files">Data Files</a>).
|
||
|
|
This directory, known as the <dfn>python directory</dfn>,
|
||
|
|
is automatically added to the Python Search Path in order to allow
|
||
|
|
the Python interpreter to locate all scripts installed at this location.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Additionally, <span class="sc">gdb</span> commands and convenience functions which
|
||
|
|
are written in Python and are located in the
|
||
|
|
<samp><var>data-directory</var><span class="file">/python/gdb/command</span></samp> or
|
||
|
|
<samp><var>data-directory</var><span class="file">/python/gdb/function</span></samp> directories are
|
||
|
|
automatically imported when <span class="sc">gdb</span> starts.
