Thanks for sharing this codebase. Can you please tell what license it is released under, and preferrably add license text to the repo? Thanks.

Also, please let me know if you still interested to maintain this and to receive pull requests. I've started to hack on it to produce nice and usable debugging frontend. Caveat: nice from my PoV. One of the first changes I did is reformatted code per PEP8 for example.

Sorry for the late reply. I was busy this days. Thanks for having interest on my code :) How did you find it?

I have added LICENSE file to repo. It's MIT, you can do whatever you want. I have abandoned this about two years ago though I still have interest on it and ready to maintain. You are welcome.

Thanks for the reply! I remember that I was searching for something else, then your project came up in search results, which reminded me of old pain point I had with trying to develop my own Python frontend to gdb - at that time, GDB/MI was half-finished, so there was no chance to implement something nice-working.

I actually did whole pass over the scene of (new) GDB frontends, I'd for example prefer console-based, found this: https://github.com/phmc/pgdb , but that simply shown empty screen to me. Or this: http://kldp.net/projects/mygdb/ which kinda elaborated debugger in C++, but consumes 90% of CPU when idle, and who wants to debug that C++ stuff?

So all in all, your project which I found first, proved to be the most working and hackable (I already had to workaround async commands processing though - I don't want to write Twisted style app, don't know how you guys tolerate that Node.js stuff ;-) ). I've described what exactly I want to achieve btw: https://github.com/pfalcon/mydbg/blob/pfalcon/README

I have added LICENSE file to repo. It's MIT

Thanks, that's generous. I'll probably re-license my changes as GPL3 after all ;-).

I'm really happy that my code was found useful.

It's your right.
