  • the subprocess module, which according to [python.org/dev/peps/pep-0324/] is to replace the os.system call (among other things) Commented Jan 13, 2011 at 12:57
  • W_P are there any existing commands in gdb enabled python. Commented Jan 18, 2011 at 11:40

I think the best way to do this is to use subprocess:

subprocess.Popen(['gdb', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'etc'])

If you are using Python 2.x and you only want to record the output, you can use commands, but it is deprecated since 2.6.
You might want to check Invoke and control GDB from Python

Hacky solution as always: os.system.

os.system("gdb arg1 arg2 etc")

Apart from this are there any commands to do this.
the subprocess module makes this inappropriate for the majority of use cases.
