Re: [RFC][patch 3/9] export hooks mechanism to Python

Funnily enough I was just thinking about this code today.
In particular I was wondering if we ought to expose observers to
Python more directly -- say by having a generic way for a Python
object to register with a given observer.

I don't think that's a good idea; it ties the Python exposed interfaces too closely to GDB's internal interfaces. I don't want hacking on GDB to break Python programs unexpectedly.

Observers look like a useful feature in GDB to be used by scripts, IMHO we should think about ways to make it available to python, and consider turning it into a stable exported interface...
