#### 23.2.1 Python Commands

gdb provides one command for accessing the Python interpreter, and one related setting:

`python` [code]
  The `python` command can be used to evaluate Python code.

  If given an argument, the `python` command will evaluate the argument as a Python command. For example:

                (gdb) python print 23
                23

  If you do not provide an argument to `python`, it will act as a multi-line command, like `define`. In this case, the Python script is made up of subsequent command lines, given after the `python` command. This command list is terminated using a line containing `end`. For example:

                (gdb) python
                Type python script
                End with a line saying just "end".
                >print 23
                >end
                23

`maint set python print-stack`
  By default, gdb will print a stack trace when an error occurs in a Python script. This can be controlled using `maint set python print-stack`: if `on`, the default, then Python stack printing is enabled; if `off`, then Python stack printing is disabled.
