Because GDB supports CLI command in MI-mode, I can call my Python functions by CLI.

There have been various discussions on this list about it. There are some technical issues which you need to consider. I won't recap them here, they are pretty well laid out in the archives. So something to think about if you wanted to take a stab at it. Cheers Phil
