- Subject: [python] (trivial) Remove documentation prompts from example
Something I missed yesterday. In the simple example with the GDB's
"in-built" Python interpreter I read:
(gdb) python
Type python script
End with a line saying just "end".
>print 23
>end
23
But what actually happens is
(gdb) python
>
As a beginner to this work this confused me for a few seconds. I ended
up waiting for the same prompt that was shown in the documentation. (I
thought that Python was loading or something). There are two possible
ways to fix this. Make GDB match the documentation by printing the "Type
python script" prompt, or change the documentation to match GDB
behaviour. I opted for the latter as the documentations informs the user
how to start and end an interactive Python session in the narrative
before the example.

Phil
