I hope others who have more actual knowledge will answer, but
in case no one else does, my first reaction would be to look
into GDB/MI, because that's the interface that was designed
to be used by front ends. The Python API is getting very versatile,
but I don't know if it is going to provide everything you need
nor whether it'll be convenient to use. In particular, sending
commands, getting the output (with stdout and stderr separated),
etc.
